Hi,
Seeing those complains about people that CC to the list and to the original poster (so that we get double copies), and those that complain that replying to an email on the list result on emailing the original poster only, I'll paste here my procmail recipes.
Carlos,
This does nothing to educate the masses in how we would like this list maintained. 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.
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.
Or maybe fix the list, so that it works as a list should. I get the feeling that someone thought this was a "bright" idea and decided that everyone else should use it. It stinks.
