On Thu, Dec 01, 2005 at 11:59:41AM -0500 I heard the voice of
Chuck Swiger, and lo! it spake thus:

Interestingly enough, there seems to be a pattern to it.  All the
places where somebody starts duplicating happen when somebody (a) is
using KMail, and (b) replies to a message to 'current@' (never to
freebsd-current@), it will set the To: to freebsd-current@, and leave
current@ in the CC list.  It doesn't happen every time those
conditions are met, especially if current@ is sandwiched somewhere
among other headers.  Rather odd; maybe some "list reply" sort of
feature in KMail?  jhb seems to get bitten by it with some regularity.
