I don't seem to be getting any duplicates at the source, and I
didn't see any on MapInfo's MapInfo-L mirror site, but stranger
things have happened in the 'net.
To track this down, first check the message headers and see if
the messages are really "duplicates" or just reposted by some
confused server somewhere between Denver, Colorado and you. Also
note that some people accidentally respost messages (like that
one about the Brisbane Users Group). Also don't worry about the
occasional duplicate... it's when every message is duplicated
that there is a problem. However, if everything looks the same,
AND the date/time and message Id are exactly duplicated, then the
problem is most likely on your actual PC (and you are probably
using Internet Explorer, which is easy to misconfigure). If it
actually got duplicated by a server, then there will probably be
a difference in the time, and then you read the headers to see
where it came from and contact the postmaster there. IF you are
still perplexed, contact me and I'll try to help you track down
the problem.
Another possibility is that you are actually signed up twice on
the MapInfo-L under slightly different addresses. It has happened
that people sign themselves up using the easy way (just putting
'subscribe MapInfo-L' in a message to the server), and then not
knowing what to expect, do it again the slow way by sending
another message to server for the same thing but including their
email the second time. The server won't sign up the exact same
address twice but even a trivial difference like say,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which in Internet
mail terms is the same address), will count as two separate
addresses to our mail server. If that's a possibility, and you
can give me some likely candidates, I can check the list for you
and let you know if that's what's happened.
