It apparently only happens when someone hits 'Reply All' instead of
Reply_to_List - and then if you have your list preference (at least in
mailman) set to not receive duplicates, you will only get the personal

deal with whatever I get silently and worry about more important things,
like who we should be hanging for this BP Oil disaster...
