You may also want to STOP replying to the poster -and- cc'ing the list. Since the poster IS on the list you only cause them to get two copies of the same email. Simply use reply to list if that function is available or use reply to all and remove the posters email address leaving only the list.
Then again, some of us like to receive two copies of email, when it's list email that's directed at us. It guarantees that we'll see it.
Different people have different views on this matter. I've stopped worrying about it, to be honest.
I figure that the list owner has replies set up to work the way he/she wants it so who am I to change it?
That's why there exists a "Reply-To:" header. If a poster wishes a direct reply in addition to the list reply, he should include his address in "Reply-To:". Most "list replies" will honor this and no-one gets extra copies that they do not want. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org
