I agree that it gets annoying when responding. I wish that if it was in the mail, that it wouldn't be duplicated, but it is, and right now, there isn't much that can be done about it. The reason it is there is for all the clued out people on this list (there are a lot, but no names involved) who ask the same question over and over again, and then proceed to argue that nobody has told them where the FAQ is when they are told to read it. Yes, this has actually happened a few times to me. > Many people argued that they need the to use for their > filtering functionality.

Honestly? Most mail programs aren't that clueful. You may be able to do it, but I can't (for example). I use the 'circle' header to even find the mail. > I am speaking for three of us on the list, the other two don't even read > their circle mail anymore. > Then why are they still on the list?
