The primary reason I have subfolders is so my already congested inbox doesn't get flooded with e-mails from all the
lists to which I am subscribed. Although I respect your preferences, I would think it would be fairly easily for you
to just receive one copy and then automatically send a copy to your other folder. But for me to receive two copies (to
different addresses) and make sure I delete one and properly store the other would be more complicated.

Plus, having everyone only send out one reply uses less bandwidth and is therefore more efficient and cost effective.
Ha!
