Though, bear in mind it could be that you're seeing some people send the same message twice. > 2.

In the prior message, you did have your own address in the reply-to headers as well as the list, so you'd have got two replies to that one, for sure. This message, that I'm replying to, only had the list's, so you should just get one from me. > 3. The mail does not really appear at the same time.

There could be a breakdown between the list and then onwards, where it thinks a message hasn't gone through, so it resends it. You'll have to be specific if you want someone else to check the same messages. i.e. list some message IDs. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
