I assume this is because of use of the "Reply All" button, where "Reply List" should be used (or "Reply" if your client lacks it, but setting the To: field to internals). Is this the reason? If so, I'd suggest to people who are guilty of it to use their client's Reply List feature. It saves the environment by avoiding duplicate emails :P Thanks. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/ --- ## #69952 — Christopher Jones — 2013-10-29T19:18:36+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/69951#69952 · In reply to: #69951 > Good evening all, > > I often receive duplicate emails when somebody replies to me or to a thread containing me.

Some people like the direct To's since it lets them filter messages better and/or their mail readers don't display the duplicates.

Anyhow, this discussion is now over.

This is clearly described on http://php.net/mailinglists I also suggest you read the linked mailinglists rules, as you break at least two of them on weekly basis. If that does not stop we will be forced to block you. -Hannes --- ## #69958 — Andrea Faulds — 2013-10-29T19:59:53+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/69951#69958 · In reply to: #69957 > > I would appreciate you stop pretending to lead this project.

You must be getting duplicate from the list server to notify you of a reply. I only get for the thread I reply to or my own new threads.

Right, and a simple friendly reminder is enough. And it would be much appreciated if such aggressive mail for trivial troubles like that can be avoided. > If that does not stop we will be forced to block you. No we won't. -- Pierre @pierrejoye | http://www.libgd.org --- ## #69963 — Lester Caine — 2013-10-30T07:54:14+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/69951#69963 · In reply to: #69959 Good Guy wrote: > > […] > You must be getting duplicate from the list server to notify you of a reply.

As a habitual 'reply all' and clear the extra addresses I've only just spotted that at some point seamonkey has aquired a 'reply to list' optio :) We get stuck with one way of working and so other options tend to go un-noticed ... -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
