05.03 How can I eliminate duplicate copies of letters to myself?

  Add these two lines to your MH profile file:

    Alternate-Mailboxes: user@host1, user@host2, ...
    repl: -nocc me

  The Alternate-Mailboxes also tells scan which messages are really
  from you so that it can place the recipient in the scan line instead
  of the sender.

  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

  - (See also "How can I save a copy of all messages I send?").

    For more info, see the man pages comp(1), repl(1), forw(1),
    dist(1) and mh-mail(5).

  See also MH book sections 7.8.2 (6.7.2), 9.8 (8.6), or the URLs:

  Listing the name of a mailing list in Alternate-Mailboxes is also a
  convenient way to AVOID automatically cc-ing a mailing list when
  replying to a person who sent the message to the mailing-list.

  Rather than specify the hostname as part of the mailbox, you can
  simply specify the username and it will match on any host:

    Alternate-Mailboxes: asriniva
