therein lies the rub, you shouldn't send a copy to the sender AND the
list, it should be "either one or the other" -- not both... the sender is
on the list, they will get a copy, they shouldn't have to wade through two
copies of everything [which is what george was asking about last week, and
now he got two copies of your post]... my SIP is a long distance phone
call. i dial up, and download my mail, then hangup, then read my mail.
i don't want to pay twice as much as i have to... nettiquette==courtesy

like the numerous folks who double the length of their mail by not turning
off the hypertext thingy, and send thier mail, with a duplicate attachment 
of an html version of the same mail...

<soapbox mode off, i'll let the mailing list goddess deal with it ;->
