Thanks for the replies people.
I settled for the solution of using
:0:
* ^TOjspence
$DEFAULT
It was the obvious solution I guess but I wasn't sure about procmail's
filtering actions. I erroneously believed that procmail may have been
processing mail that had been placed in /var/spool/mail/username and
thought filtering mail to the same file might have broken things.
BUT now that I know this is wrong I am content to manually save the Cc
copy to my list archive.
I feel the same way; when someone answers a post of mine by writing to me
and carboning the list, I like to get the direct copy in $DEFAULT and the
list-distributed copy in my folder for the list. (There are others here who
feel very differently, considering the two copies to be an annoyance or even
an insult.)
Yes, I can see how someone might feel annoyed about that. I was subscribed
to a list once that occasionally died. The result was I received answers
addressed to me very quickly and only received the Cc to the list about a
week after.
Compared to the Spam I get randomly bombarded with, a little ASCII
duplication of information is nothing.
