I am using mpop to fetch mail from my service provider (who use dovecot). I use dovecot to hold all my mail on a local slackware server, with sieve filters, based on 'List-Id', directing mailist postings to their own folders. I use thunderbird to read my mail on an ubuntu desktop. When I receive a reply to a posting I make to a mailist (such as this one), replies I receive are usually sent to me with cc to the list. I would expect, then, to receive the message twice - once in my personal mailbox, and once to the mailist folder. However, this doesn't happen - I only see the posting in the mailist folder. Can anyone tell me at which stage in the process the other message is being supressed? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Bell Mob: +63 (0) 9287 340 343 Tagum City, Philippines.

Such as in this case. I would expect you NOT to receive a personal reply. 'I' am suppressing the copy (in this case). I would not be surprised if other people do that. OT: Sometimes, people posting replies only do 'reply', not 'reply all', and so their posting never hits the list and, as a result, others who are following the thread sometimes miss postings. regards, Ron
