Ah, yeah, I should have checked that. However, it looks to me like any other 
message:

Dec  6 03:15:58 mail postfix/smtpd[39781]: 78155118ADBF:

Dec  6 03:16:05 mail postfix/qmgr[1145]: 78155118ADBF: removed

and the procmail log looks just like thousands of other mailing list deliveries:

From [email protected]  Sun Dec  6 03:15:58 2009
 Subject: Re: vnc on headless backend
  Folder: .mythtv.2009-12/new/1260094560.39840_0.mail.covisp.net           4780


(and yes, the forward to gmail is not unique, all my list mail gets forwarded 
to a gmail account)

There is one little point, when the message is initially written, the filename 
ends with '.net' but once it's in cur it is renamed to '.net:2,' or 'net:2,S'. 
I suspect that at some point there is where the duplication occurs, 
particularly if Courier duplicates the message to ,S and is then supposed to 
remove the original?

I can't imagine the MUA is relevant since it would not have direct access to 
the messages like that.

…

Oh, wait a minute, I just remembered that procmail has a TRAP on some mailing 
lists that is supposed to 'mark' a message as read.

 TRAP='mv "$LASTFOLDER" "${LASTFOLDER}:2,S"'

So that is something else. While it is a mv command and it shouldn't ever leave 
the original file behind, I suppose it is possible something there is mucking 
up on rare enough occasions that I see these left-over dupes?
