There is also an mm_cfg.py setting to override the default for new lists, but the fact remains that many people, even competent people, are busy and don't have time to research every setting and option, so they tend to go with defaults until there is a problem. That's why the choice of default is important to many people. <snip> >In fact, I must do this a little of this when participating *on this >list*.

It is not a matter of courtesy. There are many arguments for not editing out the addiditional recipients including: - one or more may be a reply-to that is not a list member address but an address the poster wants the mail to go to, and similarly for Ccs. - the poster may be a digest member and Ccing back to the poster keeps that person in the loop. Note that Mailman will remove addresses from Cc: if they are list members with 'nodupes' set. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
