[M100] E-mail duplications

[Peter Noeth]

All / Moderator,

What is the purpose of sending an e-mail to ***@bitchen100.com and
cc'ing ***@lists.bitchen100.com

I subscribe to the list daily (or so) digest, and for all e-mails sent in
this way, I see the first e-mail and immediately after it, a duplicate.

Doesn't this consume an un-necessarily large amount of storage space,
especially when replying to other long discussions? I know, for me, it can
make it difficult to read the digest and follow along.


No flames, Just curious,

Peter

Hello Peter,

I've never heard of that problem. I guess it's unique to the digest thingy,
which most of us do not use.

AFAIK I only get one copy of the emails.

Anyone have an idea why this might happen to the digest?

Our list uses GNU Mailman.

Hello Peter,

No I see it too. Actually I've been getting a little cranky about
it! :-(

What was happening with me is that, when I reply to the list, instead
of being presented with a "To:" address of ***@bitchin100.com it comes
up as "CC:". Hence, if I don't manually change it to "To:" I send the
list 2 copies of my response.

So I have to be careful and manually set the header to "To:".

(This is in Claws Mail under Raspian). I imagine other pretty pretty
GUI apps are doing the same thing. I think it's trying to send
the response to the originator (m100 list) and also to everybody else
(m100 list...)

So yeah, it would be appreciated if posters would take the time to make
sure the post is To: m100... and not CC: m100....

So does that mean "reply all" is causing this?

With gmail I tried reply all and it sends to ***@bitchin100.com and cc's
***@lists.bitchin100.com

I actually have two accounts, dating back to my pre-Gmail days when my ISP was pretty unreliable. Ironically, Willard is the only one whose posts are consistently duplicated, but not in the Gmail account; perhaps Gmail filters out the duplicate.

FWIW, here's what I see (using OE Express):

John's post (for example) shows both incoming 'To:' and 'Reply to Sender:' as
'***@bitchin100.com'

'Reply to All' shows a duplicated
'***@bitchin100.com;***@bitchin100.com'

Willard's posts also include the 'lists' address:

The incoming 'To:' field shows: '***@lists.bitchin100.com;***@bitchin100.com'

'Reply to Sender:' only goes to:
***@bitchin100.com

'Reply to All:' goes to all three:
'***@bitchin100.com;***@lists.bitchin100.com;***@bitchin100.com'

Willard's reply is a classic example - two copies go out, because

testing testing 0 1 2 3
Ani Kin had Padme Hummin
256 to the power of testing!

so claws mail had the list address listed twice as the list address?
Hopefully there will be one and exactly one copy of this posted.

I only got one, but your To: line is ***@lists.bitchin100.com,
***@bitchin100.com

And from what others have said, Gmail removes duplicates.

I assume you're not doing a reply-all

Once again hoping for 1 copy of this to go out?

Of your smallC-100 update? Only saw one copy, but I think
it's usually when you're replying to someone else's email
that it happens (having said that, I didn't see two replies
to Ken's email).

So how about dis one?

Just the one. Change anything?

Excellent.

Yeah, when claws-mail puts up the the message edit window the trick is
to remove anything from the To: or CC: entry slots. The actual address
isn't shown, but it's there.

because it's *friendly*. Pfhfhft!

Cheers,
