I understand what you're explaining. But I do not understand how it is
related to duplicated messages.
 
BTW and OT: the MUA agent I'm using (mutt) knows "list reply" feature, it works
independent on From/Reply-To header fields. Using just "reply" in
presence of a Reply-To header field, it asks if it's my intention to
send the reply to somebody else than the originator. And it knows "group
reply", that's the same as "reply all" in other MUA. And finally it
knows a "bounce", sometimes known as "resend" - not to be confused with
forward. It just lacks a shiny *G*ui.

Greetings from Dresden,
