[Macpartners] multiple copies received of some e-mails from single list?

Hi All,

A couple of my colleagues and I have noticed that we've been receiving 
multiple copies of some e-mails distributed through mailing lists this week 
(I think it started on Monday...).  This is not because an e-mail was sent 
to multiple lists and therefore multiple copies were delivered, but rather 
a single mailing list delivered two copies of the exact same message with 
the same timestamp.

I had been deleting these but since they seem to be continuing and there 
has been no discussion of this behavior, or notes on 3-Down, it was 
suggested to I write to IT-Partners and try to get a sense of how common it 
may be and hopefully identify any common parameters.

I'm on PO9 but I know of two other folks on PO12 who've experienced this.

I'm using Eudora 5.2 on  WinXP with IMAP.  One of my colleagues uses Eudora 
5.2 on WinXP with POP.

I've seen these duplicates regularly on WinPartners and MacPartners Mailman 
mailing lists but I'm not certain about others at this time.  There are 
other Mailman lists which I've not seen this behavior on.

If others have seen behavior like this, perhaps you could drop me a quick 
note and I'll try to summarize the response for the list this evening (or 
sooner if I get a whole lot of feedback).

Thanks,
   Bil
