This is a long standing fight. Who is in the wrong, mail clients that stupidly send double messages, or mail clients that stupidly can't detect and omit double messages? Probably both, but the one that is really wrong is whatever someone else is using and you're not. Because humans. (Personally I'd blame the ones that lack reply-to-list, because that's the easier feature to include.) Could we at least update that page to say "use the reply-to-list feature if available, or reply-all if not"? Or something like that? Because yeah, I'm also really sick of getting 2 copies of every email sent to every thread I ever touch. :-) --Larry Garfield -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
