the HTML built by the Listserv program...
I still think the problem is in Listserv.

Well, we have one of those weird ones in today's archive:
Ed Gould's posting. (As usual, watch the wrap.)
http://bama.ua.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0906&L=ibm-
main&T=0&O=D&F=&S=&P=183214
With IBM-Main options medium text and monospaced font, and
using IE6.0 with who-knows-what options I see the repeated
words and, well, this is a lot weider than I thought. If I vary the
width of my browser window so that the lines are reformated the
problem goes away and will not reappear regardless of my display
width. But if I exit and rebrowse the posting, the duplication is
back.
This evening I'll check using Firefox.

I think the posts that don't show this problem may have <CR>s
often enough that the browser doesn't have to flow the text.
When the text has to be flowed to new lines, the browser (IE6 ?)
sometimes repeats part of the text.
