If they were to post to both lists at the same time, mailman should be clever enough to prevent sending duplicated messages to who subscribers that are in both lists? Or at least if mailman is not that clever, many mail clients would be able to detect the duplicate and show a single message. But if you send two distinct messages, this cannot be filtered out.

(it seems to be common enough for people to post to both lists but never wonder why they receive duplicate announcements). gfadsmr IOhannes [1] https://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-announce/2006-05/000939.html [2] https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce _______________________________________________ Pd-list@lists.iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list _______________________________________________ Pd-list@lists.iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
