Do they receive messages posted individually to either list?

For gmail users, this may be another manifestation of the issue
discussed at <http://wiki.list.org/x/2IA9>

If the issue with Outlook can be mitigated by having a message # in the
Subject: header, current Mailman supports that.

If the issue is caused by the two messages having the same Message-ID,
Mailman is doing the right thing by not munging the Message-ID of the
incoming message. There may be some setting in Outlook to avoid this,
but I can't help with that.
