It is impossible for everyone to keep track of each individual list member's preferences. It is far better for you to simply filter out the extra copies. Many people prefer to have mail that is actually a reply to them arrive with their address explicitly in it (e.g., for filtering) or simply to arrive faster than the mailing-list mail does. A duplicate message filter can be consed up easily with procmail (in fact, it's one of the examples in the man pages): :0 Wh: msgid.lock | formail -D 8192 msgid.cache -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
