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(at)postgresql(dot)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.
