Randall:
I went to the sign-up page, and there appears to be no way to make a choice
about what is placed in the header. No surprise there. It still appears
that those who manage this reflector may need to make a change in the way
the reply priorities are set-up. In a Yahoo Group, clicking on Reply sends
the reply to the group, not the individual. Perhaps the group managers would
entertain the idea of changing the process to eliminate the duplicate
messages.
