Yes, I realized my error with regard to Yahoo. However, the problem being
discussed in not about receiving duplicate messages from the reflector, but
that of receiving a message from the reflector and the sender . If I click
on Reply All, my message goes to the reflector, and also goes directly to
the previous sender, bypassing and without any action by the reflector.
Thus, the previous sender gets two copies of the post. If I understand
correctly, I believe the goal of most of us is to be able to click Reply and
have the response go to the reflector rather than both. I have also posted
this to AMPS so that if my understanding is incorrect, others may correct
me.

This is not a Yahoo list ...
check here:
> http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/amps
Log in and at the bottom of the list you will see an "Avoid
duplicate copy of messages?" choice:
When you are listed explicitly in the To: or Cc: headers of a
list message, you can opt to not receive another copy from the
mailing list. Select Yes to avoid receiving copies from the
mailing list; select No to receive copies.
