I think it has been discussed before, but depending on the list software used and the settings, if someone CC's you then you get a private mail but not a list mail - it still goes to the list, it's just that *you* don't get a copy! It seems as though this started because people who are from Windows might get confused with getting two copies of a mail!!! A couple of times I recd a private email which was also addressed to a list and deleted it (because it makes more sense to reply to the list, obviously) but when I opened that list's mailbox -- it wasn't there!! None of the Debian lists I am subscribed to have this serious problem. There is a personal setting which you can change from your subscription page, (you're given a password and reminded monthly what is is) which you can toggle: (unfortunately, on some lists default is yes.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ (*) No ( ) Yes Avoid duplicate copies of messages? When you are listed explicitly in the To: or Cc: headers of a list message, you can opt to not receive another copy from the mailing list. Select Yes to avoid receiving copies from the mailing list; select No to receive copies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry to labour the point, but what is happening to logic in the world today? -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
