There is no technical nor human reason/justification => for the identical messages to be sent to the person more then once. =It's no inconvenience for you to remove dups based on message-ID. =For the other side, however, you seem to forget that the one and =only blessed field for filtering is Sender:, and last time I =checked, each Sender: field lists only one -list address. To =follow-through your suggestion, the Sender: field would need to =list multiple addresses... First, I do not see anything wrong with Sender listing multiples. Second, what's wrong with relying on To: and/or Cc:? As a matter of fact, a custom X-Something header can be introduced with all sorts of information needed for somebody's mail handling scripts. I just find it silly to duplicate messages on the hub, when they can easily be replicated by the receiver (if he/she wants to) for some sort of archiving. The Internet gets plenty of traffic from dummies already... -mi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
