At least occasionally people send copies to both linux-aus@linux.org.au
and linux-aus@lists.linux.org.au which both go to the same list. I've
done this myself: something odd seems to happen when I hit list reply in
mutt when replying to a message that went to the first of those two
addresses: it replies both to that and to the second address. I'm used
to trusting list reply and don't normally check that it's done the right
thing.
