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

[Colin Law]

You will learn a huge amount if you keep getting all mail, skim them,
and delete ones that are not of relevant to you.  In no time you will
find yourself helping others and putting a bit back into the
community.  If you only ask questions and take the answers then you
are not putting anything back to help others.
