Team,

Somehow all my posts appears twice.  
Do anyone knows why and how I can prevent that annoying side effect?

Thank you

Victor

It’s just Gmail. The message only goes through once to the list.

No, Gmail hiddens you your own message when you receive it back. The  
problem  
is that this maillist has an option:  
“Send mail to myself”  
that generates a new mail eactly the same. Sure you enabled that option  
during  
subscription.

It ocurrs the same to me, and I’ve no idea of how to dissable it (2 mail  
to  
mail admin with no reply, and no help about it).

Regards.

It’s not an option for our list server. Besides that those two mails  
are not identical really. The send-back message is numbered, and a  
few lines are added in the header.
