Re: gEDA-user: OT: Mailinglist, often I get same text twice

I have had this happen with interrupted IMAP transfers,  when my  
mailing application wants to delete the message off the server, and  
that fails.  so the mail client redownloads the message.  thinking  
that you never got it in the first place, so it might be that... .if  
it is intermittent


as for displaying the email twice, it is probably multipart mime not  
hiding the duplicate parts  html and plain text ( showing only the  
preferred)?

Look at the raw message headers
