Mailman could look at the To and Cc lines of the message and make sure it doesn't sent to members which are listed on those lines. This would result in each person getting one copy, either from the list or from the sender who hit "reply to all". There would be a downside to this. The to line could be spoofed if you wanted to send something to the list and prevent it from going to a particular sender. Ideally this would be a per-client setting. A lot of email systems will delete duplicate emails with the same Message-ID so someone who is on the To line and on the list doesn't see the message twice anyway. My email comes into an Exchange 2000 Server which I access using Pine over IMAP. Exchange deletes the duplicates, and Pine is setup to color email with my name in the To or Cc line a different color. On busy lists this makes it easy for me to see replies to messages that I sent to a list, and I don't get duplicates. alex ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py
