It is not that I am getting duplicates. My mail server does prevent duplicates were they appear. But duplicates aren't produced in this cases where I tried to put the focus on - as Satish Balay did before, he first mentioned the gmail reply-to topic if I remember correctly. I get the mail only once: to my personal address and not by list subscription. Hope to make it a bit clearer again: 1) gmail account user -> Fedora mailing list -- reply-to address contains gmail address + Fedora list address 2) Fedora list subscriber -> reply to the list mail -- causes mail addressed to gmail account user + Fedora list 3) gmail account user gets reply and reacts with another reply -- NOW the point: often enough they reply to the mail they did not get by list but by direct personal reception -- mail goes to replier (like me) and bypasses the list I do not blame anyone sending me personal mail. Feel free to contact me by private mail if you want to communicate about something which is not for public. My dilemma with above drafted scenario: 1) Is the mail which reaches me personal intended to be personal? Often I can not really judge. Mostly I suspect it is not intended, but I can not be sure 2) If I feel the mail should be a list mail: what shall I do? Shall I forward it to the list without asking the sender? (I do not like that idea much) Shall I ask the sender? (Makes it complicated) Shall I continue with conversion with private mail? I like to help where I may be able to and to discuss Fedora related topic. It is just that the automatic reply-to address insertion by Gmail makes some users not recognizing (when not knowing or not paying attention) that they do not answer a list mail but point their discussion add to a private address. Regards to all. Again, this is not complaint against anyone mailing me directly. Only the try to bring the fact to attention and that Gmail users can have it in mind.
