I’ve been seeing some of my posts twice and assumed that it was an interaction between gmail and the list, but wasn’t sure. Most of the lists I subscribe to with gmail don’t exhibit this behavior though, it must have something to do with the headers ruby-talk uses. At least I’m reasonably sure now that I’m not boring y’all twice with each post. – Rick DeNatale [http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/](http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/) ---

I’m _assuming_ this happens because Ruby T. is configured by default to send you a copy of your message. So you are seeing GMail’s sent message and the Ruby T. message sent to you. (That’s total guesswork on my part though.) I’m pretty sure you can change your Ruby T. configuration to shut this off, if you desire. James Edward G. II ---

I did not know you could shut it off. But, yes, that’s been my figuring, too, that Gmail is showing you what you sent, and you are receiving it back. That’s also why there’s a slight delay in getting the second one. At least nobody’s been affected adversely, as I feared when I first joined. Nobody knew what I was talking about! Hah. Now I’m going to go find out how to turn off sending me my own emails! M.T. ---

This has been discussed a number of times here. It might be useful to add a little blurb about it on the ruby-lang ML page ([http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/20020104.html](http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/20020104.html)). —John
