About *receiving* two copies - not really. As when they write their response, they send the mail to both you and the list, and you receive the list mail in addition to the mail sent directly to you. That is not an issue with Mutt (or any email client really). You can tell people "do not CC me, I am subscribed to the list", and hope that they follow the advise. > since you use mutt you can, there is a > setting for that: > > > # set followup_to=yes > # Type: boolean > # Default: yes > # > # Controls whether or not the "Mail-Followup-To:" header field > # is generated when sending mail.

Sound advise. In addition, if you view mails threaded, you can do "D~=" and it will delete all duplicate emails (in the folder you are in). This is handy if you merge multiple lists into one folder where there may be cross-posts between lists (very common in the linux kernel communities). > > Ciao; Gregor > -- > -... --- .-. . -.. ..--.. ...-.- -- Kind regards, /S
