After I sent the message I did some looking around at various

doubt it is a user level misconfiguration.
You'll have to ask the list owner to be sure. I'll add a reply-to
header to this message and we'll see if it shows up in the reply-to
header of the list along with the list address (it should, I had this
setup in my mail client before and removed it when I noticed it was
being duplicated).
That seems to be the ticket. Usually a Reply-To: address would be
used when you want a reply sent to a different address than the
"To:" line. For some people that's a handy tool. For this list it
seems to get in the way.
It's not a misconfiguration necessarily. It's just a configuration
with some undesirable consequences. :)
I was thinking in terms of a misconfiguration at Aaron's site. It
MAY be that his MUA is too smart for it's own good. I use <choke
puke>Outlook Express</choke> typically. It doesn't toss on the
Reply-To:. And it does not filter out "duplicate" messages. It also
does not reduce a dual "Reply-To:" down to one. Regardless something
screwy's going on.
