Not so. These messages are always repeats of responses that have already appeared on the list. That is why they are always prefaced with "As you are not subscribed you may not have seen that:" after which the entire post is repeated; which, apparently, it is assumed *will* be seen *this* time.
In truth, I suspect/hope that the senders are clever enough to (B)CC: the OP.
Very astute.
My contention is that these repeats add nothing but noise to the list as there isn't any new information.
Much like this thread.
If the OP is deluged with copies of the posts responding directly to the question, it is a result of not registering and they are in complete control of that step.
Obviously they are not in control! If they were in control, they wouldn't have posted to the list in the first place!
Additionally, CCing exactly accomplished the problem you described of the user getting deluges with posts responding to the question. If we send to the list also, the OP only gets one.
