Actually, I'm not sure if that's 100% correct...because: 1. I am subscribed to the list and I never got duplicate messages. So maybe HM just kept archiving the same message multiple times and the mesg didn't get sent to the list multiple times
2. I did not change the way I was invoking HM from /etc/aliases after upgrading to 2.0b3

So I think this is/was a HM problem, but if I understand you correctly, this should no longer be a problem b/s the check for duplicate message IDs will catch it and discard duplicates.

P.S.
I can't try the latest CVS HM because www.landfield.com seems unreachable so I can't get to the instructions for getting HM from CVS :( Received on Tue 08 Jun 1999 11:08:49 PM GMT
