I'll leave it there in future. That's fine. It's something the list had done (most likely because it's munging my address), I hadn't set it up, but was just taking advantage of it being there. I never know whether to remove or leave extra addresses in, either. You can't tell who's arranged it on purpose, and when the list has just thrown them in for its own reasons. If I actually received duplicates because of it, it would be a pain. But the auto-deletion rules take care of it. In days gone past, some list mail servers handle this well. They'd take the name of the author, put it front of the list's reply-to address, and responses would go to the list but get the attention of the person it should. And some mail clients would notice that the content of your emails had started off with your name in the "Dear ..." or "Hi ..." opening lines, and highlight messages that were actually to you, as opposed to general mail. e.g. Your message would come from Stephen Morris <[email protected]> with this as reply-to Stephen Morris <[email protected]> and any reply to your post would use that as its TO address. It worked simply and neatly. Except when someone replies to a random message in a thread, instead of the person who wrote the part of the thread they're really responding to. There's no perfect solution. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
