I disagree that it is something that the individual person is doing. I
have noted in the past that occasional emails even with Sylpheed
exhibit this behavior. It is something in the email header structure,
but I haven't made an analysis to determine what. Reply worked just
fine for this email, but I have noted a few replies that tagged on the
original sender, and I had to remove the second desitination manually.

It's even possible that this behavior is due to changes that google is
making behind the scene. I noted yesterday a change in behavior that
disabled the browser bak key. Well, that was true for about 18 hours;
now the browser back key works again.
