7.3. Copying List Participants

Standard practice on the FreeBSD mailing lists is to reply to both the list and the original sender. That's because:

The two messages you're seeing are the direct reply to you and (the one with the extra footer) the reply delivered via the list. There's several ways of avoiding having to plough through everything twice. First (and most obviously) you can alter your subscription settings via Mailman. Go to: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions

Then type in your subscription e-mail address in the last text box on that page and click the button beside it that says 'Unsubscribe or edit options'. On the next page, type in the password you used when you originally subscribed and click on 'Log in'. On the next page, scroll down until you see the 'Avoid duplicate copies of messages?' entry. Click 'Yes' on the radio button to the righ hand side, then click 'Submit My Changes'.
