Yes, mailman only sees one copy of the message, but it will not send me
this copy if dhml at comcast.net appears in the To: or Cc: headers.
>From the options page for "Avoid duplicate copies of messages?":
When you are listed explicitly in the To: or Cc: headers of a list
message, you can opt to not receive another copy from the mailing list.
Select Yes to avoid receiving copies from the mailing list; select No
to receive copies.
What is yours set to? Did you receive this twice?
