    Hello 
Micronet,

 


I have a question 
regarding posting a single message to multple lists. If a person is on multiple 
lists, is there any way, as a sender, to prevent sending the same message to 
that individual many times? For example, when I send out notices about BPAWG 
meetings, etc. I often send to 4 or 5 lists. Many people on those lists are not 
familiar with BPAWG, and they're the ones I'm trying to reach. However, for 
those who are on EVERY list, can I somehow prevent sending the same message 
to those people 5 times?


 


I guess I'm looking 
at a model sort of like a bcc functionality in email, where you put a list of 
addressees in a bcc send field, and the email prevents listing 
all the addressees.


 


Just kind of 
thinking out loud here. Thanks for any tips or suggestions, and enjoy the long 
weekend,


 


Bond

It is not the same as the bcc: option. That just suppresses
the 
addresses from appearing in the recipient's copy. It knows
nothing 
about the recipient address or list.

To do what you want would need a mechanism that could
determine the 
membership of all the lists and send just one copy (using
which 
list?). Since the campus lists are discrete, I don't think
it could be 
done.
