David I know that there are two "To" addresses if I hit reply. And therefore the person to whom it is addressed (the addressee) will get two emails, one from the Airline List and the other to his own personal email. I agree that to prevent the addressee from seeing the message twice in his inbox, just delete the address of the originator. But you've missed the problem. Gerry wanted to know if there was a solution for the sender (not the addressee) not to get two messages. He wrote: > >Any posting to this list results in delivery of the message twice, once > >addressed to the sender alone and a second time to the sender as a member of > >the list. I don't know of any way to stop that. My reply was to fix this problem of the sender who posts to the list. If his setting was SET AIRLINE NOACK NOREPRO, then he would only see his message once as a member of the list.
