Whoa, you lost me here. Not all newsreaders are created equal. For example, I
just checked MSOE v4.72 and could not locate any settings to exclude
cross-posted messages--have looked for this a few times before, too.
My alternate newsreader, Gravity v2.20, is much more powerful and allows me to
create customized rules. One of my custom rules marks cross-posted messages as
read but leaves the follow-ups alone so that I can read them in the goup that
they are in. This works fine for me.
As for receiving Lugnet messages via SMTP I cannot comment about cross-posted
messages; I only receive a handful of groups this way and they are groups that
do not often have cross-posted messages. But my thinking is that one copy of a
message is sent via email for each group that I am signed up for, regardless to
whether I will receive multiple copies of the same post from different groups.
I could be wrong on this. Anyone know for sure?
