Multiple recipients in Mail - double messages to each address with
different Reply-To - bug?? (OS 10.4, Mail 2.1.1)

Hi,
I just noticed an odd behavior that *I* at least consider a bug in
mail. I wrote a message and sent it to X, and CC'd it to address Y.
X and Y are both Yahoo mailing lists. What I get back when I check
my folder from mail from X is *two* copies of the same message, both
the same, but with different Reply-To fields (one of X and one to
Y). It seems to me that Mail should send out one message to X with
reply-to of X , the other to Y with a reply-to of Y. Either that or
the RFC needs to change to allow multiple Reply-To, but that has
great potential to create havoc - with postings really meant for only
one list going to the other. I'm subscribed to both, so I can just
check both (except I'm about 500 messages behind on one of them..)
Or it could be a preference (time to write my own email client - I
need one too to just keep track better of all sorts of lists -
replies to threads I initiate and replies to threads I've
participated in would be VERY nice and I don't see a way to do it
with Rules/SmartFolders except for running an Applescript on
everything (or post-processing the mail with a Perl/etc script and
then rebuilding the Mail database)
Is this a bug/feature/personal-annoyance, or am I doing something
wrong (or should I just not cross-post to lists)
Jim
