repl -group and alternate-mailboxes (fwd)

[Iain MacDonnell - Sun UK - SunPS IT Operations - Project Specialist]

I've since found the new mailing list and the cvs repository and
upgraded to today's cvs version 1.0.3, but the "problem" is still
there.

Any suggestions ?

TIA,

    ~Iain

Subject: repl -group and alternate-mailboxes

Hi All,

Please forgive me if this is an FAQ, or if I'm being idiotically blind.

I've been bugged for some time by repl and its construction of the 'cc' line
on replies. I've just got around to looking into this properly, and have
got it doing most of what I want, but one last detail has stumped me.

My username is "im50766", but I have a primary alias "Iain.MacDonnell",
which gets rewritten into the sender fields on my outgoing mail by sendmail.

To handle this, I have:

smithers:~$ grep Alternate .mh_profile
Alternate-Mailboxes: iain.macdonnell
smithers:~$ 

I want 'repl' to reply to "<Mail-Reply-To> or <Reply-To> or <From>" as
normal, but to 'cc' everyone to whom the message was sent. I also want to
'cc' myself. Therefore I'm using the "-group" switch.

smithers:~$ grep repl: .mh_profile
repl: -annotate -group
smithers:~$ 

This works fine, except that duplicate removal doesn't seem to happen.

For example, if a message had header:

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When I repl, the header of the reply looks like:

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], im50766

If my understanding is correct, repl should have removed one or other of
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and "im50766", since both should be valid
mailboxes for me.

If I do "repl -nocc me", it takes *BOTH* off, so alternate-mailboxes must
be working. "repl -nocc me -cc me" puts both back in.

What am I missing? Am I assuming too much? Is there something I can put
in replgroupcomps to do what I want?

TIA,

    ~Iain
