Don't know if I agree that the discussion belonged on GENERAL, 
but it's too late at this point. In the future, maybe we 
could just post a final summary to the GENERAL list and leave 
the other posts between developers on HACKERS.

At any rate, thank you for answering the real question I 
was asking. :) After reading up on the majordomo docs, here is 
the correct way to do it. Send the command 

set ListName unique YourEmailAddressHere

to majordomo@postgresql.org, where ListName is the list that you 
want to receive the singe copy of multiple posts on. You will then 
receive a confirmation message from majordomo. For some reason, 
the majordomo is very slow: it took from 15-30 minutes to reply 
to each of my commands.(?!)

Sounds like a great idea to me. Or maybe mention it on the 
subscription page or the welcome message.

Thanks,
