        I believe these occur when anyone accidentally does a 'reply all'
        on the newsgroup to a message that was posted from the mailing list.

        For instance, if I 'reply all' to Ian's message, the 'To:' field 
becomes:

                To: Mirror of fltk.general Newsgroup <[email protected]>
                Newsgroup: fltk.general

        ..so the message comes into the system via the [email protected] mail 
route,
        and also via the NNTP route, causing the double post.

        However, if I 'reply all' to Albrecht's message, the header is:

                To: Albrecht Schlosser <his_private_mail_address>
                Newsgroup: fltk.general

        ..so that should hit the newsgroup only once, and his private email
        direct.
