I haven't heard of such things.  Is this done for "fun?"

I do think that I've sent some dups that would show up for the person I
was responding to as my transition to Pine has had me saying yes to "reply
to all" which is sending a copy to the person as well to the list.  Anyone
who filters this list using the [newbie] in the subject would see two
copies in their newbie folder.

Lately it's been a real problem for me as I've been seeing (and I may be
generating them) dups on everything.  Strangely, it all stopped this
afternoon for some reason.

This may be the way the list is setup up or the way mailers are set up,
but that we can blame Linux for this one.
