Someone asked about duplicate addresses and before I get 100 replies (even
if only 1% of the list responds) that is still 100+ replies), I wanted to
explain in more detail as to what I was referring.  Here are two sample
headers from a duplicate message I received from [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

Header 1:
------------------------------
Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Header 2:

These headers tell us a lot of information.  First off Amil send the E-Mail
to groupstudy at the servers time of 11:02:12  (this time may be off but do
not worry about it).  But if you look at the previous header he also sent
the message at 11:02:14.  So his SMTP server sent two copies to GroupStudy.
Therefore the problem is most likely Amir sent the message twice, not a
problem at GroupStudy.  By the way, if you continue reading you will see
that the message was accepted for delivery at 11:02:47 and sent to me at
11:21:44.  So I received the message 19 minutes after the first person
received the message.  Not bad considering the number of e-mails on the
list.  By the way, the news feed is always posted before e-mails.

Take care,

Paul
