The answer is more simple. If you set the 'reply-to' address then the
mailinglist is setup to honour that and adds the xfce listaddress TO
that list. I noticed an enormous amount of people pass a reply-to
address to their e-mails and subsequently all will get double e-mails
from people replying. (and this list includes Xan, Paul Bucalo, Chris
Green and a tonload of others).
The Reply-to address should never be used unless you *want* to be CC'd.
Please set your mail client so that it does not use the Reply-To
Address. Using the Reply-To address is never needed for most e-mails anyway.
