OK, your last three messages have come through each doubled. The first
one has the following header information:
Subject: Re: [mhvlug] problems with new mailing list
From: Mike Kershaw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Reply-To: Mike Kershaw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: 10:42 PM
To: [email protected], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This one is missing the MHVLUG meeting date announce found in
the second, and has no attachments. It does have your signature,
GPG fingerprint, and quote.
The second copy has the following header information:
Subject: Re: [mhvlug] problems with new mailing list
From: Mike Kershaw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Reply-To: [email protected], Mike Kershaw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: 10:42 PM
To: [email protected], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The note ends with your signature, GPG fingerprint, quote, and the
MHVLUG meeting date announce. This one has two attachments:
Part 1.1.2 contains your PGP/GPG signature (not formatted the same as
in the note body), and Part 1.2 contains the MHVLUG meeting date
announce (a repeat of what's in the note body).
It's just annoying that suddenly (with the new mailing system) I'm getting
two copies of many (but apparently not all) emails. My email client is
Thunderbird 2.0.0.6. I will try to remember to keep an eye on MHVLUG
emails and determine if there's some pattern to the duplicates. I think I
may have occasionally gotten a duplicate with the old system, but didn't
think much of it.
