Along these same lines, I had something funny (bad) happen recently. I reply to emails using the "reply to all" feature of my mail client. It=20 replies (not unreasonably, I think) to the list (as specified by List-ID),= =20 the To, From, and CC. It seems to eliminate any duplicates as well as my o= wn=20 address. This had a bad effect recently where I duplicated a message to th= e=20 =2Dquestions mailing list because it was To: questions@ with a List-ID of=20 freebsd-questions@ . My question is, other than paying careful manual=20 attention to where my replies are going, is there something that should be= =20 changed on my client or on the server to make it more obvious that those 2= =20 email addresses are (for my purposes at least?) the same? Looking forward to replies, Eric =2D-=20 The signature is a location used to give a personalised feel to each E-mail= =20 without having to personalise each E-mail. --nextPart3182010.LMMKvhmRsd Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (NetBSD) iD8DBQBD5nTSSMnO3Fce5JgRAlzGAJ4hyd5fuyzLr8feXhN4MvjRyGkCpwCfYAo3 8bRi68jyndBSuqv4ZjqxfR4= =nDYy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart3182010.LMMKvhmRsd--
