Tannis, I do recognize exactly what you are describing here. (1) So, either you indeed received 2 copies. You would see 2 addresses in the TO/CC section of the long mail headers. Or you would see ONE and "undisclosed recipients".
For example, many people do a reply on this list which would in this case return to my mail-address, and then they add the list-address, which would result in me receiving 2 messages. (2) BUT, there is another possibility, Your ISP's (specifically after a weekend) sometimes take a server offline for a software update. At that time the queue of messages is stopped, and another server takes over. When the first server resumes its work, it quite often happens that a series of mail messages arrive 2 or 3 times. That happens to me, and happened even prior to Mac OS 10.4. (2) FINALLY, a third thing can happen, which was discussed earlier. I am tied into some 10 ISP's at least, and I know of at least 2 ISP's where the "Leave mail on server" causes this to happen. Because accessing the same mailbox with 2 or more client programs, for some reason messes up the pointer indicating precisely up-to-which message the mail was read. At that time, Chris confirmed that all of the pointer-keeping, is being done on the client-side. And I am assuming that some clients mess up their own pointer as soon as they see a message they referred to in the queue, being deleted right from under their feet.. if that expression is a bit of English worthy.
