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

I think I have my communication problem resolved. As I understand it, I email questions to gnucash-user, and I see all gnucash-user messages in my email: I am receiving individual messages which is my choice.
If I wanted to see a collection of messages, then I would look at archives. 
I have set my preferences in settings.
Can I restrict messages received to only my questions? Did not see that option.
I am not getting duplicate messages.
Thank you!

Ron

I did check Alan's message settings from gnucash-user. At the time that I checked he was set the receive mails individually, and have no duplicates.
