What is the advantage of sending to the OP by default rather than the list? Michiel

Yes, plus many of the people who send to lists such as php-webmaster@ generally do not actually subscribe. Sending a reply privately to someone can also come in handy if you wish to comment privately on a commit. Logs/diffs are sent to mailing lists and the From header will always contain username(a)php.net. -- Daniel Egeberg

I'm pretty sure that I didn't receive duplicate. So it might that gmail's server has some detection method in place. |
