[GNC] Multiple copies of gnucash-user messages from the list

[Adrien Monteleone]

What do you mean by ‘archive messages’?

Are you set to receive in digest form, or individually?

Otherwise, there are 3 preferences I can see that would possibly result in ‘duplicates’.

1 - Avoid duplicate copies of messages? (you’d want to set this to ‘yes’ to *avoid* duplicates. That is, if you are in the To: or CC: fields, the list will try not to send one to you in addition.)

2 - Receive your own posts to the list? (you’d want to set this to ’no’ to not have the list send you a copy of what you just posted. You can use your Sent box/folder or thread it appropriately according to however your mail client works) This would only apply to your own posts, not those of others.

3 - Receive acknowledgement mail when you send mail to the list? (again, you’d want to set this to ’no’ to not receive a ‘hey, you just sent this to the list’ message) Again, this only applies to your own posts, not those of others.

Otherwise, I can’t see any reason why you’re getting more than 1 or even 2 or more copies of every post. And it seems the problem is on your end, because you’re the only one (so far) saying it is happening.

(note, I can imagine such a mess if you had the above three preferences set wrong, were not using digest mode, and sent messages to the list by hitting ‘reply-all’ and you were also in the To: or CC: fields, which might generate as many as 4 copies of your own messages to the list.)

If the list were spamming members with duplicates, triplicates, and worse, it would be noticed and addressed.

To review/change your preferences: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user

Enter your e-mail address at the bottom of the page, then on the next page, enter your password which will give you access to your mailman preferences.

Out of curiosity, how many copies of this message did you get? I intentionally removed you from the To: and CC: fields and only sent this to the list address. (which I do regularly, though I sometimes forget)

Regards,
Adrien
