The last time someone complained about receiving two copies was about 10 years ago.
False!
I've complained a number of times in th4e past year.
I'm new on this list in just the last week so I wouldn't know about that. I mean, in the ~50 lists I'm subscribed to, this is the first complaint about two copies I've received from any list in 10 years.
And according to the netiquette list I just posted you were wrong to complain about it. The burden is on you. Not me.
Perhaps you are somewhat challenged in reading comprehension:
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mailing_list_netiquette#Personal_and_mail_l... <quote> Personal and mail list answers
Rule of thumb: If the user has sent the reply to you and to the list, then respond to both the user and the list. If the user has only responded to the list, then respond to the list.
Replies to the posts (emails) that you receive through the mail list should go to back to the list so that others searching the archives at a later date can benefit. In case when your reply is not related to the thread use direct mail. </quote>
and it goes on to confirm/explain but further quoting is unnecessary as you can "re-read" it yourself.
I have read the entire thing, and the rule of thumb is very clearly sufficiently de-emphasized by the volume of text that follows stating *two* expected solutions to the duplicate email problem: Changing reply-to: which is what you do. Configuring the email client to remove duplicates by message ID. There is absolutely *zero* basis for insisting that this is a sender problem. Repeating it does not make it true. The guidelines are absolutely clear taken as a whole. That the rule of thumb offers slightly conflicting advise is significantly diminished by virtue of it being called a rule of thumb rather than a rule. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
