Fwiw, I find the "deduping" that many mail systems perform these days as most unfortunate. If I'm a subscriber, I want my file (folder, label) of distributions on each of my subscribed lists to be a complete record of the distributions of that list. If someone posts to 4 lists (of which I'm subscribed), I want *my copy* of those archives/folders to be complete. If I notice that post in my list A folder, but not my list B folder, did the poster decide that? Why were list B subscribers left out(they weren't, perhaps)? Oh well, I'll never win that battle :-( Cheers, Wayne On Thu, Sep 25, 2014 at 4:04 PM, Reed Farnsworth < [log in to unmask]> wrote: > This is all good information.
