That is presumably the result of a Group-Reply / Reply-To-All when using the gmane.org newsserver, one reply goes to the newsgroup and is then gated to the mailing list, the other reply goes directly to the mailing list. > The To address is also rather different. > > According to the e-mail headers, this apparently reached ooo-dev via > a newsgroup and newsreader application, but the origin and other > details are obscured in the manner you see below (in contrast to the > one that came out in the usual form from the list). That's gmane.org's way to prevent spam. Their internal database maps the obscured addresses to real addresses, so if you're subscribed with them and post through their services everything is fine, while spammers scraping the newsgroup via browser or newsreader interface won't get anything usable.
