[Mailman-Users] users getting mail twice

[Chuq Von Rospach]

Dan is correct, but mailman could, in fact, do something about it.

One thing I've considered is changing mailman so that if it sees 
someone listed explicitly in the To: or CC: lines, it wouldn't also 
send a copy via the list. That probably ought to be configurable, but 
I think it's a reasonable way to get around this kind of issue, which 
is, in fact, a feature, but one which some people don't like.

it's definitely not a bug, but I think the MLM can be made smart 
enough to deal with it.
