I can almost see getting two (one on the "To:" line > and one from the "Cc: hackers | ports"). People are generally too lazy to trim the Cc lists even when they know that all recipients are actually on the mailing list. That's why i'm defending myself by dropping my name out of reply-to (ok, Nate, my procmail is still not set up). You have to live with this laziness, it bloats the mailinglists, wastes bandwidth, and selfishly saves the sender of a message a few seconds by causing 500 recipients the grieve of seeing (or at least receving) the duplicates. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
