Prevent duplicate email when sending to multiple lists?

    If the same email address exists in 2 mailing lists and I select both of those lists to receive a single newsletter, will that email address receive 2 copies of that newsletter?

    If you process each list separately, I’d expect you’d send out the newsletter to the same email address twice, once from each list. If instead you merge the lists into a single array and then call array_unique() I’d expect only 1 copy of the email would be sent out since now the address only appears in the array once. So which way does it work?

    When you create the list of recipient with multiple mailing lists, the plugin adds the emails of 1st list, then the emails of 2nd list not included in 1st list, and so on. In other words, before adding an email the plugin checks if a recipient with this email has been already added.
    So an email address that exists in 2 or more lists will receive the newsletter once.
