I'm glad you got your question answered. But did you have to cc me and a bunch of other people on the original email so that we got two copies of every message? :-/
Ken, I suggest you add message-id filtering to your procmail so that you don't get two copies of the same message.
Because everyone can personally affect the path of their mail processing. Mm, flawed assumption.
Message-ids were invented for the purpose of duplicate filtering.
And are known to be reused within some implementations, not "over a long period of time", either. Sieve requires you to turn on the duplicate suppression in Cyrus in order to work, that's the only reason anyone I know ever noticed.
We cc lists and posters so that they get messages faster than the slow list processing. If you had to wait an hour for each response, people wouldn't use email lists, and the rest of us wouldn't learn about useful conversations.
If you're waiting an hour, something sucks. It isn't the list server, either. I'll send this at 10:30PM, EST. It will turn it around and I will get it like a minute later. If you don't believe me, I'll be happy to send you the headers. I am not special by virtue of anything the list server is doing.
I am always amazed at the smart people who want to change the good behavior of others instead of using the technology made available already to solve their problem...
I read OpenAFS lists in a shared folder which is not subscribed to under my address. So, what technology allows me to duplicate-suppress mail which is filed elsewhere, on another system in another domain, with that which shows up in my personal inbox? You can tell me I'm wrong but I see no reason to push extra bits around. There's just no point.
