TJ, Yes, this is the case that happens to me all the time, and it is aggrevated when someone BCCs one or more lists I subscribe to.

(I might configure Tb to display it, at the cost of not displaying something more useful.) (2) When the message has "To: Albert CC: ListA, ListB", and I subscribe to both lists, I get two identical copies (three, if I'm Albert), which any filter is going to assign to the same folder (whichever filter runs first *must* catch both copies). With subject markers, I can filter that easily. -- /tj/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
