 send a copy of a message to any user who is listed in the To, CC, etc

 filters, then you won't receive a copy at all.

 I recommend disabling this feature in your mailmain preferences:

 I've asked for this feature to be disabled by default, but that
 hasn't happened.

I was not aware of this request (or forgot).
If there are no objections, I guess that we can change the Mailman settings.
Not sure though, if that propagates to all users or if settings are
kept (likely).

Glynn:
 Changing the default won't affect existing users.
 Personally, I'd be
 inclined to change existing users' settings as well; they
 can always
 change them back if they actually want it enabled. I
 suspect that most
 people have it enabled simply because they don't know about
 it.

I would be annoyed if someone changed this for me without asking.
This setting saves me time.

While for other people, it results in them never seeing a reply to
their question.

If it was turned off, you'd know about it the first time that you got
a duplicate reply. If it's left on, people won't notice that they're
losing emails unless they happen to look at the archives or if someone
replies to the reply.

apologize the private mail, i can see your answer on the list archive, but no

g.proj outputs whatever is in the PROJ_UNITS file. The textual
description of the unit can be whatever the user chooses it to be, or
in the case of g.proj -c, whatever is obtained from the source
specified by georef=. GRASS itself only the unit/units fields for
display to the user; calculations use the numeric value in the meters
field.

What do your scripts use the unit or units field for?
### ### ###

I'm working on a script to send data from grass to ossimplanet,
it is :

http://svn.osgeo.org/ossim/trunk/gsoc/OssimPlanetSasha/r.planet.py


there is a projinfo() function i'm using it to retrieve if the location use 
degrees or projected coordinates
what i need is to extract the center of the map and use it in the  zoom to 
action.

if the location is in degrees i use :

setCLL(map)
location ..
while if projected (meters) i use :

setCPRJ(map)


in the example i used the spearfish dataset.
but as you pint me ... the ceck on the units string .. is not a good idea :-( 
beacouse the units value  is user - dependent 
and maybe someone that did a typo error defining the location will go in an 
error during the script execution.

regards,

I suggest looking at the PROJ_INFO output, specifically the proj
field. It will have the value ll for lat/lon.
