Rumor has it that George Ramsower may have mentioned these words:
> How does this happen?
The list software for Yahoo adds the yahoogroups.com address in the
reply-to, and the list software for MaltedMedia *also* adds it's email
address into the reply-to header; this is how it was shown on that email:
Reply-To: ColorComputer at yahoogroups.com,
CoCoList for Color Computer Enthusiasts <coco at maltedmedia.com>
So folks that click 'reply' and don't remove one of the email addresses, it
gets sent both to Yahoo and MaltedMedia, but the Yahoo is gatewayed *to*
MaltedMedia, so anyone subbed to the MaltedMedia list gets 2 copies of the
email.
