I cc, but luckily my mailer mutt understands what you want. That's good because I can't keep track of what the hundreds (thousands?) of people on this list wish, and not all of them have smart mailers to set the Mail-Followup-To header. Personally, I like the cc. If I ask a question and someone takes the time to respond I like to get that message right away (yes, sometimes there's a delay in debian-user). And when I reply to someone I assume they want a response quickly, so I cc. Is it the cc you don't like or the duplicate mail? I like the cc's but I hate the duplicates. And (also luckily) I run Debian and with a simple additions to my .procmailrc I no longer have the duplicates: # kill the duplicates :0 Wh: msgid.lock | formail -D 8192 $HOME/msgid.cache It's the spam that I'm not really that excited about. -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
