I may be alone in this -- but I actually appreciate the duplicate emails; and it
is precisely because of the flood that they are very convenient for me because
when I see a pair I know that the sender likely intended something as a reply to
me and I am much more likely to spot it and read it. Otherwise, even within a
specific thread, I am hard pressed to read everything. So when I see two
identical posts from somebody, it is no problem for me to read one and delete
the extra.

But according to your wishes, I only sent this to the ASA list!
