This does nothing to educate the masses in how we would like this list maintained.
It wasn't my intention O:-)
It is a solution that you use but not everyone does or can, I know I do not have the ability at work as I use imap ant the server does not have the ability to sort and weed out dups.
You can do the weeding locally, as soon as you get them. If I'm not mistaken, you can read the mail from the imap server, and put it back there on another remote folder if you so wish. There must be tools for that: even Nestcape can manually do it.
The best approach is to educate the masses and try to be polite when asking somneone to NOT "reply to all" but only to the list as everyone on the list gets a copy of the email.
Life is not perfect ;-) That would be nice, but it is a lost war, IMO. My recipe just minimizes the nuisances. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
