[Elecraft] email reflector headers glitch or "feature"

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I don't think it is the "way is was" because I'm still getting two of
everything. 

I didn't before and I haven't changed a thing at this end.

It's apparently been changed back to the way it was, but in answer to your
question, it's a simple matter of doing things in the correct manner. From:,
To: and Subject: headers are, in general, unreliable and/or ambiguous
indicators of the proximate message source. If a user sends a message to
both the list and another user, then the recipient will get two copies via
different routes. By "proximate source," I mean to differentiate between a
message received directly and one received via the list server. 

One possible method of reliable filtering has already been given. There are
others. You need to identify and use a header which is unique to the
proximate source.
