Yes, of course. But a single mailman installation hosting multiple mailing lists already has the complete knowledge, does not it? > And that would still break down if the sender created one message and sent > it to one list, then took the same message and sent it separately to another > list, etc.... Yes, absolutely -- the only key is Message-Id. Even if a hash of the message body /could/ be used as the key, I think, a different Message-Id means, the message should be sent again. > although future versions of Mailman will allow people the option of > registering multiple different e-mail addresses that are all associated with > the same identity, so if they choose to make use of that function, you > would at least have a better chance. I think, this function is already here. When I first sent message to this list, it bounced, because I was not a subscriber. The bounce suggested, that I subscribe ALL of my addresses and mark some of them as "NOMAIL". This would seem to indicate, that multiple addresses-per-person feature is already established. > OTOH, I'm not sure that this is something that should ever be the > responsibility of the mailing list software.

But if /most/ duplicates are eliminated by this, then the remaining /few/ may be acceptable to allow cross-posting to relevant mailing lists. > As for the rest, the message was sent to multiple lists, and > therefore it should definitely show up in multiple archives. I don't > think that you're going to find any way around that one. AFAIU, the message will appear in the search results multiple times -- once per mailing list. That is not justified -- the results should contain no repetitions...
