yeah i know, and i am firmly of the view that as this is the only list
that I am on (of very many) that exhibits the behaviour, it is a
configuration problem.

Technically your config may follow the letter of whatever standard(s)
are applicable, but it is causing a problem that didn't arise before
"robin", and therefore I humbly submit that whatever configuration
option is causing this to happen should be fixed. IE the previous
configuration didn't exhibit the behaviour, and on my observation didn't
seem broken, so it should be kept. 

I know that the "ideal" would be to educate the users to either use
different clients or use their clients differently, but frankly the fact
that very regular posters are double posting time and time again, hour
after hour, day after day, week after week, means that user education is
not working in this case. Assuming that the frequent posters, who are
regularly offending, read the majority of the list mail, one would
assume that if they were capable of being educated, it would have sunk
in by now.

They have done away with everything under 5c pieces here, so that will
be 10 cents thanks.
