Cc: ing to debian-user when replying to a question

[Jimmy Richards <linuxrh@home.com>]

Hi All,


    There is something I have been confused/wondering about for some
    time. I thought I once saw someone say in their reply that they
    didn't need to Cc: to debian-user@lists.debian.org when replying to
    a message because they are already signed up on the mailing list. It
    looks like I am seeing two messages from some people who have
    replied to a question from someone. Which to me means that they
    replied to the the person asking the question, and Cc:'d to
    debian-users lists, resulting in me(and everyone on the mailing list
    I imagine) receiving two replys that are exactly the same. One of of
    them being an unessary duplicate because of the Cc:. I have been Cc
    my replies to the debian-user list lately because I thought maybe my
    responses were only going to the person I was replying to. But I
    don't know. Do I need to put in the Cc: debian-user@lists.debian.org
    if I want to make sure it goes out to everyone? Or is this automatic
    because I am signed up on the mail list. I tried looking at the FAQ
    for the mailing list to see if I could find anything about this
    subject, but didn't see anything on it. I'm wodering if I don't need
    to be Cc'ing, then how does that work? How does it go out to
    everyone? If someone could enlighten me I'd sure appreciate it.
    Excuse me for my ignorance on this matter, but I thinking I might
    not be the only one cornfused...  :-)


Sincerely,

Jimmy Richards
