They don't put it into your Inbox, they put it in All Mail. And Sent Mail, but as I mentioned before that's just a hard-coded tag for all messages with you in From:. Then, if you receive a copy from the list as well, the All Mail message (probably based on Message-ID, as you suggested) is the one that's promoted to your Inbox instead of storing a new copy of the email. If you don't want to see your Sent message in the Inbox, just tell mailman to quit sending you your own list posts. -- Brad Beyenhof http://augmentedfourth.com Silence will save me from being wrong (and foolish), but it will also deprive me of the possibility of being right. ~ Igor Stravinsky -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
