Umm.. Am I missing the point, or....

The message is 'cc'd to your address, as well as being 'To' the list address. SO assuming you're sub'ed to
the list, you will get 2 copies.....

Subject: duplicate majordomo messages

Greetings, Tim Miller here.

Thanks for all your help.

Maybe now I can be of help to some of you.

I've noticed that most the email messages from the list-managers list come in 
pairs, i.e., duplicate messages. This is also occurring with the other 
Majordomo list I subscribe to, a rather inactive list that runs on The World.

I presume this is not supposed to happen. I also presume it may not be 
entirely clear why it is happening, and that some listowners or listmasters 
might be interested in figuring it out. (It might have something to do with 
compuserve, which is where I presently--and much too expensively--receive my 
email.)

I chose a message from Brian as an example, because it was short. I've 
included the header information for both messages. The first message is shown 
as having been sent on 2/2/95 at 4:17 PM and received at 9:03 PM. The second 
was "sent" at 4:36 PM and also arrived at 9:03 PM, same date.

Best regards,


Tim Miller

I actually hope at some point they do plan to charge - if it means they 
could update their brain-dead database system and improve responsiveness 
by hiring more people.  Twice in the last 3 months my DNS registration 
has been messed up on account of incorrect information on other people's 
domain registration forms, a bug that could easily have been fixed if 
they had a better database system.

End of List-Managers-Digest V4 #14
**********************************

To unsubscribe from List-Managers-Digest, send the following command
in the body of a message to "Majordomo@GreatCircle.COM":

unsubscribe list-managers-digest

If you want to subscribe or unsubscribe an address other than the
account the mail is coming from, such as a local redistribution list,
then append that address to the command; for example, to subscribe
"local-list-managers":

subscribe list-managers-digest local-list-managers@your.domain.net

A non-digest (direct mail) version of this list is also available; to
subscribe to that instead, replace all instances of "list-managers-digest"
in the commands above with "list-managers".

Compressed back issues are available for anonymous FTP from
FTP.GreatCircle.COM, in pub/list-managers/digest/vNN.nMMM.Z (where "NN"
is the volume number, and "MMM" is the issue number).
