A duplicate message doesn't disturb me too much (unless there's a big
file attached). But if everyone uses the "Reply All" feature instead of
entering the list address manually via copy/paste the number of
recipients gets larger and larger. Everyone who once had contributed to
a thread will get the messages later in this thread twice.
So I usually copy and paste the list address into the "To:" field,
although this doesn't work too good with Netscape. There are always some
commas and blank spaces pasted too which I have to delete then. No idea
where those come from.
