Makes sense.

While I suppose his reply to all went to the list and to the proxy, the 
proxy bounced it, presumably with the same message-id, and anything that 
tracks by message-id (including my client), which is supposed to be 
unique and thus usable for message tracking, would see only one of the 
two.  Which one would depend on which one got to it first, and whether it 
took that and refused the other one, or let the second one override the 
first.

Either way, definitely confusing, but at least there's a reasonable 
explanation now.  Thanks for helping to clear that up! =:^)

(FWIW, as with most linux kernel lists, replying to all is customary.  I 
generally reply only to the list, however, because it's far easier with 
my specific setup, tho I'll reply to author as well if specifically 
requested.  But Hugo actually does the list-recommended thing by replying 
to all by default.)
