Apology for duplicate copies

Yesterday I inadvertently sent two copies of a message to this List, 
and for that I apologize.

Such duplication happens because when I want a reply to a List 
message to go to the List (rather than just to the person who 
originated it), I have to start with Reply All.  That has the 
unfortunate side effect of putting the List address in both the TO 
and CC fields, probably because the List address appears in both the 
TO header and the Sender header of the message to which I am 
replying.  (The originator's address appears in the From header of 
List messages, as you will know if you are not a customer of AOL.) 
So if I forget to edit the address fields after doing Reply All, you 
all suffer.

Again, my apologies for that; I'll try to do better in the future.

Carl
