No, you can look at my User-Agent: header for yourself. I do not use an
HTML-based mail reader.
It's only happening to a couple of messages: I'm guessing that it's some
broken mail forwarding arrangements somewhere, but it's not easy to
debug.

Your broken five-year-old pine also sends me private copies of messages
as well as sending them to the list, even though my headers explicitly
request otherwise. Please make it stop.

Er, no. I'm quoting the headers from one particular broken mail.

Thank you, but you're wrong, and I know perfectly well how mail is
delivered to me. Actually the-love-shack.lan belongs to Alex Malinovich
who sent the mail in question that got duplicated, so I was just
confused, but for a different reason. The common factor is an
X-Mailbox-Line: header that contains the full headers and text of the
mail being duplicated, followed by ^Q^Y.
