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?
I usually reply (all) to lists AND suppress the copy going to the OP. 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.
