Oh, and all 4 of Alberto's postings of the last 18 hours "reliably" went to my Gmail spam. :(

Except if you're using Gmail as your infrastructure (like I am). Gmail only posts the message once when it recognizes the unique Message-ID as duplicated, even if the multiple messages come into "To" and/or "cc" via different target e-mail addresses (which is often my case).
I hate to make Gmail look good, especially when I started this "bash Gmail" thread, but hey, they do a few things right. (Like labels!)

Oh, I see why the mailing lists sometimes default to replying to the list and sometimes to the sender... if I'm in the To:/Cc: explicitly then when I hit reply it goes just to the sender. If I'm not, it goes to the list. Ah: because the ones explicitly to me are not even going through mailman (even though mailman is on the Cc:). I think there's a setting in each subscriber's mailman to also (or not) send a copy when you're already on the Cc:.
A bit frustrating as there's no good solution. If I tell mailman to send me a copy too, then I'll always get 2 copies. And I can't tell the origin mail server not to send me that other copy... Unless someone can think of something I haven't, looks like using reply-to-all or reply-to-sender explicitly each time, and never using just "reply", is the only way to ensure the MUA is doing what I want.
Or... I guess if everyone refrains from ever letting any individual person's email address get into the To:'s and Cc:'s that mailman sees... good luck with that! _______________________________________________ Roundtable mailing list Roundtable@muug.ca https://muug.ca/mailman/listinfo/roundtable
