Which copy you get seems to be dependant on which arrives first, so you can't even hope a mail exchange will consistently arrive in one mailbox or another. Note that this also applies to mails cross-posted to multiple lists you maybe be suscribed to; this breaks threading fantastically. Google is aware of the issue, and considers it a feature. If you find another free mail service which isn't so broken, I'd love to hear about it. --- That said, netiquette on the kernel lists is to *never* drop CC's. Too much traffic crosses the lists for anyone to read it all and note anything they might be interested and/or implicated in. Never dropping CC's allows busy people to keep track of conversations they've taken part in or that someone thinks they should see without the worry of missing any important parts of one. Or at least it does if your mail system isn't broken. We get what we pay for. :-/ -- Joseph Fannin jfannin@gmail.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
