It's a Gmail glitch. You *can*, however, control the glitch to a degree at the loss of some information. At one point, Gmail used to keep sent messages of a conversation in the Sent Mail folder. Ruby-talk is initially configured to send you your own messages. Therefore, you see your sent message and then you receive your own message from ruby-talk with additional headers marked up that provide you the message number so you can specifically say which message yours was. If you *really* don't like the behaviour and want to lose that information, change your configuration on the ruby-talk mailing list (use ruby-talk-ctl at ruby-lang.org to do this) so that you aren't sent copies of your own messages. It's proper list behaviour; Gmail should probably be a little more intelligent about what it sees and deal with it cleanly. The behaviour, though, is no different than if you were using Thunderbird or Outlook with an option that saves your sent messages in the folders you were using or with their reply-antecedents. -austin -- Austin Ziegler * halostatue@gmail.com * http://www.halostatue.ca/ * austin@halostatue.ca * http://www.halostatue.ca/feed/ * austin@zieglers.ca
