Examples, maybe? It's a convention in most FreeBSD lists to reply to both the list and the sender, so you should get two copies of this list, one directly from me and the other from the list. That should be evident from the headers. If you get three, then there's a chance that you're subscribed under two different names. Again, the headers will tell you more about what's going on. To get rid of the duplicates, put this in your .procmailrc: # Avoid messages with duplicate Message-ID :0 W: msgid.lock | formail -D 65536 msgid.cache Greg -- See complete headers for address and phone numbers. --WR+jf/RUebEcofwt Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBmvPTIubykFB6QiMRApoDAJ9znuGt0+CrH5gN4WPziGZLNcbzpwCeJ39m PvTRJqst19O9TFPJ9FC7bqU= =xrMU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --WR+jf/RUebEcofwt--
