Well, I got private messages that this very mail was repeated.  I've seen this
thing happen, years ago though, with the Cygwin list but it was a different
problem.  With the Cygwin list, you could pinpoint the problem to a user
bouncing the mail back to the list with the headers.  With the recent
duplication in the autoconf list it must be some server that is forwarding the
mail more than once because the headers don't reflect a problem.  The set of
headers are the same with each copy of the mail.

Since this message only appears once, we can only assume to problem server to
have resolved the problem.

Cheers,
