happens - maybe you sent it twice, maybe your mailserver timed out just after
sending the message and it didnt get flushed from the spool, so it was resent,
maybe this happened on the egroups server ... completely random, difficult to

Balsa can be downloaded from linuxberg, freshmeat etc. As for cscmail, the
"some other files" are just perl modules, which can all be obtained from

make install
