2 copies. One goes to the list the other to me personally. Now I realise
that alot of this is to do with people hitting the reply key then typing in
the address for the list at the CC prompt. However I do this but I avoid
sending 2 copies to people, what you do (assuming you have elm or something
similar) is go to the headers when you have comleted your reply. Press the
'T' key, this will allow you to change the To field. You will find that it
is currently set to the person who originally wrote the message. Delete it
and type in the address of the list instead. This way everyone only gets
1 copy.
It's quick and easy to do especially with elm, I don't know about other
systems mind, so it may not be possible to do with a PC or a VAX..
Again, sorry to be grumpy but it is annoying especially when you find yourself
replying in virtual real time to someones posts, they reply back and so on...
Phill.
