I think you hit the nail on the head, when you reply to “all” on this group; it goes to the group and to the sender. If you just hit reply it goes privately to the sender. So this is probably a good reminder to everyone on the list (I forget myself) to delete the original sender so he/she doesn’t get the reply twice.
I just did that for this one so if you get it twice from me the theory goes out the window but I suspect it won’t.

I am curious about a minor matter though. I notice that when someone in our email group replies, I often end up getting two email messages, one to me and coppied to the group, and another entirely separate email message addressed to the group only. I typically like to save most or our email messages for reference, so more recently, I have been keeping one and the deleting the other redundant email message in order to save space. Is this happening only to me or does it happen to everyone? Perhaps it is simply some feature of horde Groupware 5.1.1 (my email handler) that generates the redundant email message while more sophisticated email services filter out redundant email messages. I really do not know. More recently, when I reply to our group, I typicaly delete the email address of the person I reply to and send the message ONLY to our group usma at colostate dot edu to avoid the redundancy on your end. Can anyone shed some light on this matter? David Pearl www.MetricPioneer.com<http://www.MetricPioneer.com> 503-428-4917
