Hi Marc

Our patches tackle the duplicate mail problem in different ways.

Mine attacks the problem by enabling lists to be set up which
can pull there membership in from other lists.
(ie at the who is on the list stage of the pipeline)

Ben's attacks the problem by ensuring that an individual only
gets delivered one copy of an email (based on the message ID)
(ie at the delivery stage)


What problem are you trying to tackle?

Yours
Mark
