This seems not the problem in this case as I'm using GMail and am receiving all the mail's to the mailing list. The "feature" of GMail whereby the mail sent by the person is treated as duplicate when received through list is not guilty of this "problem", as Ralf has not sent any replies to the above mentioned thread's (did not had the time to check every thread, but checked two). This seems like a problem which is affecting some subscribers and not all. This is odd. Hope this gets resolved soon.
