The duplication is needless. Direct replies very often get to the recipient faster than ones sent through the lists. It is also possible that the direct replies might be handled differently by the recipient (e.g. a filter may put them in different folders). Recipients that prefer not to get separate copies can indicate that desire by including an appropiate mail-followup-to header. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
