This isn't a hardware problem, (or maybe it is) but I didn't know who else
to talk to.  Over the last few months, it seems like the mail servers have
not purged duplicates from mail headers.  What I mean by that is that if
I am foo@mit.edu, and on the mailing list bar@mit.edu, then mail sent to
To: foo
Cc: bar
will arrive in my inbox twice.  But during the last year and before, the
mail servers seemed to be smart enough so that this didn't happen.

Did something break?
