Terry, I'm sorry that duplicate copies of my postings are a nuisance for you.
I send duplicate copies for two reasons: 1. For e-mail, I use "PINE" which works most directly with my account on the UNIX staff-server here on the University of Illinois Campus. No downloading is required. Deletions are fast and easy. A single key stroke sends my reply to the address after the incoming "From" and also to all the addresses after the incoming "To" and also to all the addresses after the incoming "Cc". No editing of the header is required. e.g. deletion of the poster's address and substitution of the USMA-Colorado address. 2. Some subscribers to the USMA server list "hit and run"; they post an item and then promptly unsubscribe. To be certain that the poster receives my reply (sometimes a week or more later) I deliberately include the actual e-mail address of the poster in the header of my reply. For exchanges with you, beginning with this reply to you, I'll try to remember to edit the header so that you receive only one copy of my reply by way of the server in Colorado. Gene. ....................................................... On Thu, 27 Jun 2002, Terry Simpson at [EMAIL PROTECTED] asked: > Can I make a request for only one copy of each posting? > ...
