There must be a way to do this. The "-nocc me" tells repl not to send you *any* copies. The "Alternate-Mailboxes" tells repl what addresses are "me". To get one copy, you can either: - Take out the "-nocc me"... then you'll get exactly one copy of your replies (assuming all your addresses are listed in Alternate-Mailboxes), or - Add an "Fcc: foldername" to the headers of messages you send. That will drop a copy of the message in the folder "foldername". You can do this for *all* MH messages you send (not just with repl) by putting an "Fcc:" entry in your personal copy of the files "components", "replcomps", and "forwcomps" in your MH directory. (If you make a "distcomps" file, it needs "Resent-Fcc:".) For more info, see the man pages comp(1), repl(1), forw(1), dist(1) and mh-mail(5). --Jerry Peek, jerry@ora.com
