Re: CVS Email List Status

[A.Sulaiman]

I found going through my INBOX convenient and is something I do
regularly whereas I hardly ever started a newsreader session.
In any case, there is a problem somewhere and I hope one of
our gurus will get to the bottom of it.
  The situation is: not all posting are duplicated, the
duplicated ones may come in twos, threes or more. I have so far
received 2 of David Trott's posting. I have not seen mine
being duplicated, I just wonder if it's not a listserver problem,
but tied to package used to send out the post. 
  By the way, I use PINE on a unix box.

I'll get out of you way now.
