I’m seeing all the messages I send to this list show up twice. Are you seeing the same thing? This message, for example, I am only sending once. I swear. Thanks, David ---

Certainly nobody on the list has complained about _receiving_ them twice. Martin ---

The mailing list sends all mails to everyone who is subscribed, no matter who sent the email. So you get all emails twice: once because you sent them, and the second time because you got them from mailing list. Mailing list could be configured not to resend emails back to senders. I’m not sure whether it’s the right thing or not. ---

I talk enough as it is and was concerned I’d burn you all out if you heard everything I said twice 😉 Cheers, David ---

I was the author of that original document. Unfortunately, when it came to that conclusion, I spoke hastily. I assumed ruby-talk was using Mailman (it’s pretty ubiquituous) which does have such an option. But ruby-talk is using some other mailing list package, and I can’t find the option either. Does a mailing list administrator know if there’s a way to do this with the ruby-talk mailing list software? Jacob F.
