That has been the situation with other lists that I have been on, where I 
would usually get duplicate messages when people responded to something I 
posted.  Those other lists long ago changed the settings to correct that 
problem.

Again, I cannot fully emphasise how strongly I recommend switching to the 
digest mode to reduce clutter in your in-box.  It takes a couple more steps 
to reply to a message in the digest, and you have to highlight and copy 
individual messages and save them as a text or word file if you don't want 
to save the whole batch in the digest, but overall, it is less hassle.  You 
get to read the messages in batches of several, rather than having to click 
and download each message separately.  It allows you to quickly scan through 
all the messages and ignore the ones of no interest, rather than clicking on 
each one and then deciding whether or not to  read or save it.

I could never manage the hundred plus e-mails I would receive daily if I 
turned off the Digest Mode on all six of the radio and non-radio related 
lists I subscribe to.
