Yes, I suppose this is true; I must not have been paying proper attention.
Oops, I shouldn't have said anything, unless to say getting duplicates
(triplicates?) hasn't been any big deal to me, whether from chileheads or
the many work lists I'm a member of, which of course also have the same
issue.
For example, I always get two copies of ALL chileheads messages, because I
am subscribed twice -- a new one that works correctly and an old one that
still delivers mail to me, but technical complications prohibited sending
from or deleting (hence the new subscription). So, fine, I have to hit 'd'
a few extra times. I get many hundreds of e-mails every day, so a few
extra 'd' because of chileheads is just in the noise. Composing a single
message or reply uses way way more time, concentration, and keystrokes than
required to delete all the chileheads duplicates that come for weeks.
And because chileheads messages are text-only, it takes an awful lot of
them before they attain a total size approaching a single, typical, modern
graphics-included e-mail message, so download speed on slow network link
probably isn't a major issue.
Oh, well, I guess I'm just used to dealing with duplicates.
