In my case, I missed the call to convert *all ports* to staging, as my pants have been bankrupt for about a year (working on restarting the upstream of the port I'm maintainer for). This may have been exacerbated by an interaction of greylisting and duplicate elimination that I just realized occurs - messages get past greylisting faster through the list than direct, so for messages that are sent both to the list and directly to me the copy that gets put in the list folder gets kept instead of the one that would go into my inbox. I will have a very hard time finishing converting to staging in three months - A. I have a day job. B. This port's current configuration (inherited from the previous maintainer) is sufficiently kludgy that I will probably have to rewrite it from scratch. (I've been trying over the weekend to hack it into shape but am realizing that I have to give up and rewrite the whole mess.) Jim Trigg Maintainer, mail/ecartis
