like you said all mailers suck,
if Dom had a really smart mailer it wouldn't annoy him with the duplicates
but that is a whole other ball of wax.

I only ever found duplicates mildly annoying and because I do it myself so
often I find it a small price to pay.

Evil!!!

Now that Dom has brought it up I think people will be a bit more careful
about it. I promise to make more of an effort in future (after this
mail).
