Please search the archives for the complete and authoritative answer to that. The short version is that munging the reply-to header is technically incorrect and from a usability point of view it errors on the side of exposing someone's potentially private email. It's easy to resend a message that was mailed privately by mistake. It is very hard to fix a private message that was sent to the list by mistake. And with a decent MTA you can remove duplicates. With procmail you do this: :0 Whc: msgid.lock | formail -D 16384 msgid.cache :0 a: duplicates Or dev/null it if you prefer. Just because all the other lists you are on do it that way doesn't necessarily make them right. Probably just means the lists aren't very technical. Most of the lists I am on get it right. -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
