Hi Mark

I think it is how some mailing lists are not 100% used the way i understand
them to be used.
You hit reply all and yes OE sets up my address;list address (not CC) but
this means i get 2 emails!

if you hit reply and substitute my address for list address then i would
only get 1 email (my subscribed email).
Some users send with the From: set to the list name to avoid this. ( i see
quite a few double emails).

I still believe that the first email to a list should when it arrives at the
users inbox only show From: sender at domainX.com and To:
listname at lists.domainY.com

not From: sender at domainX.com  To: listmember at theirdomain.com and CC:
listname at lists.domainY.com

take my original post to this list the headers are

From: "Obantec Support" <support at obantec.net>
To: <Mailman-Users at python.org>

No Cc: header added by mailman
