Gnus / GMail / double reception

[Didier Verna]

       Hi,

I suspect that this issue is related more to GMail than to Gnus itself,
but I'd like to know if you guys have already experimented this before.

I have many mailing-list-specific groups. My Gnus is set up to archive
the messages I send directly in the group I send them from. When I post
to a mailing list, I hence get my message twice: the archived one and
the one I receive from the list. This is the expected behavior and I
like it because it lets me know that the message went through (besides,
what you get from the list has all the additional headers and stuff).

However, now that I switched most of my subscriptions to gmail, it seems
that I don't get the messages from the list anymore -- only the one
archived in the group by Gnus.

Am I correct in assuming that gmail checks for duplicate messages by
Message-Id or so ? If so, that's annoying.

Thanks.

I don't know whether that's the cause, but it is indeed
irritating. Personally I get that behaviour on about half the groups I
subscribe to. It seems others do too:
