I suspect that you're confusing messages for a mailing list and normal non-list messages. When you send a normal (non-list) message, TB sends the email, then plops it into the Sent folder. The SMTP server delivers the mail to the mail server of the recipient, and that's it. When you send a message to a mailing list, TB sends the email, then plops it into the Sent folder. The SMTP server delivers the message to the mail server of the mailing list. The mailing list software retrieves the message from the mailbox, and sends it to all of the list members. Since you're a list member, you get a copy of your own message sent back to you. People will generally take one of these actions: Save nothing: All sent mail is deleted after sending, and all received mail will be deleted after reading, unless it looks interesting. (Probably won't see many of these people using TB!) Save non-duplicates: Save personal mail after sending, delete list mail after sending (since get a copy of it back), save all received Save everything: All sent mail is saved after sending, and all received mail is saved. -- --Scott. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! 1.61 under Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 on an AMD Athlon XP 1900 (1.6G real, 1.9G effective) with 512MB. ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
