exmh, at least, does not show Branden's X-no-cc: header; you have to scroll up to see it. With 400+ messages per day, I'm not likely to scrutinise headers closely. Furthermore, I make a distinction in my own mind between replying to the list in general and replying to a particular poster (with a copy to the list for interest). If I want to be sure that person will see the mail, I may well address it to him directly, in the hope that he will pay it more attention than he would a message not addressed to him. I know some people get very annoyed about receiving duplicates, but there seem to be few MUAs which will easily distinguish between someone posting on a list and someone mailing directly. Unfortunately, the people who complain about the MUAs are not the ones using them. This means that the onus is perforce on those who don't want duplicates to eliminate them before reading. The manpage procmailex gives a recipe for using procmail and formail to eliminate duplicate mails or to divert them into a duplicates folder. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP: 1024R/32B8FAA1: 97 EA 1D 47 72 3F 28 47 6B 7E 39 CC 56 E4 C1 47 GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C ======================================== "I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me."
