So being on vacation for a few days and checking my mail and have found an explosion of emails. Unfortunately most of them are duplicates.
It seems the linaro-dev list isn't configed to avoid mailing folks who are already recipients of the email. So if you're on linaro-dev and you're also To/CC'ed in the email, you get it twice (three times if your other work email was CC'ed as well, but that cannot be helped).
Sure it can. Just use formail with -D. It will discard duplicates based on a cache of message-id's. For example, I'm using the following procmail script:
# remove duplicates :0 Wh: .msgid.lock | formail -D 65536 .msgid.cache
Thoughts? (but don't CC me! :)
Nah. Removing you from CC (or the to: field) is too much hassle. Furthermore this is something I want people replying to me to *NOT* do. Emails not directly addressed to me get much lower priority in my mbox.
