I've noticed Gmail will filter out messages that share the same message ID, even if they are delivered via different mailing lists. I'm sure this is viewed as a feature, but I'd like to disable it. One place where this can cause problems is if the message is cross-posted to two mailing lists, and filtering rules are used (in the client) to sort messages into folders. Whichever list sends you the message first will be the one Gmail passes on. The other gets silently dropped. The end result is that the message may get filed into a folder you check less frequently. And in the folder that didn't get a copy, subsequent replies will be missing the parent message in the thread. Anyone know how to disable this behavior? Some initial googling hasn't turned up any options, and although I've ran across many discussion threads about doing things to get rid of duplicates in Gmail, I haven't yet seen a discussion thread by someone else who wants to disable the filtering. -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
