This is only true if you enable the "send me multiple copies" in
your mailing list preferences. I recommend turning that off so
that you only get one copy of each email.

Nah, just hit "reply all" and let the receipients decide whether
they want 1 or 2 emails. I don't know why anybody would want to
get 2 emails, but that's their choice.
