We need auto-pruning. :-) Sure, here I'm doing a group reply, and I automatically copy you and Peter twice. How else should I do it? If I just send it to -chat, it's not immediately apparent to whom I'm replying, especially if I don't have a "<name> writes" line at the beginning. This is really a mail delivery problem: since each message has an ID, it should be possible to avoid delivering a message ID more than once per site. Yes, I know that sendmail doesn't do things like that, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't. The alternative, which is probably easier to handle, is to have the mail reader recognize duplicates and optionally eliminate them. Comments? Greg
