If an original sender is the person who reported the problem, and is receiving duplicates of replies to his own messages, that should be the explanation. I tend to remove the original sender address and leave the list address when I reply. >> > >Hi, Martin > >I am cc'ing the list on this since I too was a bit puzzled by this.

If someone just hits "Reply", then the new email acquires 2 recipients in the "To:" field. One email goes to the list server and is forwarded to the list members, and the other one goes directly to the author of the mail that was replied to. So in this case, Louis should be receiving TWO copies of this email, one directly from "Jeff", and the other one as a member of the list from "Jeff via Marxism." Actually that isn't a great problem, just a bit confusing. Normally when replying I delete the recipient other than the list address (but didn't in this case, as a demonstration). It happens because the "Reply-To:" field has both addresses included. It should really only have the list address, like it used to, before things were changed a month ago to deal with an unrelated problem. - Jeff ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.csbs.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
