Yeah, I'm finding this pretty annoying too. What's happening is that
some subscriber is actually bouncing back a copy of each mail to the
list. Since it seems to only be one copy of each message, they either
have loop prevention in their mailer, or they are using procmail or
something to do loop prevention or simply to suppress duplicates. The
problem might actually be duplicate suppression gone wrong... If you
look at the headers, you'll notice that one of the copies of each mail
has gone from the sender to mutt.org (gbnet.net, that is) then to a site
in Russia, then back to mutt.org, and then to you. Steve, could you
remove this subscriber from the list and ask them to fix their setup
before resubscribing?
