Love ya Anton, but come on! You can filter, it's not hard.
True, one can filter:

Calm down, people :-) Linda is right in that it is easy to filter out the direct copies. I do that with procmail: the copy comming from the mail list goes to the mail list folder, and the direct, duplicated copy, goes to a different folder. Thus I do not even notice that I'm getting two mails. It does not bother me that much. In fact, sometimes I learn that way that someone emails to the list are not reaching the list, and I can then email them privately to tell them that they have a problem. So there is no reason to get that angry for receiving two copies. However, if I were using gmail, then I would get first the direct copy, and the copy coming from the list would be considered as duplicate and removed by gmail. /That/ is indeed a problem for gmail users, because they may think that they got a private answer and not one on the list. Thus, Linda, the polite thing to do in these lists is to send only a copy to the mail list. This is explained in the rules (they are published). Also, you are using obsolete mail software, Thunderbird/2.0.0.24. If you use instead a recent version you will see that there is a button to click that replies to the mail list, instead of using "reply to all". It is very easy. It is your fault if you reply to all and do not delete the private copy, per the list rules. It is also your fault to not use current software with a reply to list button. So please, do not get angry if people tell you not to send double mails. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
