Yes, I checked that out after sending that message.

Yes, I've noticed that this header was set.  I can't remember setting
it, but it is useful when using lists.  In most cases, there's no need
to get duplicates.  Many people on lists - especially those who do a lot
of posting, don't want duplicates, so use that header to prevent that.

Well, for whatever reason, my "g" doesn't seem to want to do a
reply-all, but normally I simply want to reply to the list, so I
probably won't pursue this very far.

Apparently some don't, at least.  I get a few duplicates for this list
sent to me personally.  But it's not a problem since I don't post _all_
that much.
