Thank you for your help.
I can't spell, it turns out. I own the Snowden board and list - with
an E - not Snowdon - with an O. I've been dumping all the messages in
one file and not noticing the spelling difference between Snowdon and
Snowden. I'm not going to bother you with the message headers until I
watch it some more. I am subbed to both lists and they are both
gatewayed with the message boards, so it may be that I'm the one
getting two messages, or it may be that the poster is posting
separately to the board and the list or maybe she's posting to both
boards.

I put in for adoption of the Snowdon board and have already received
confirmation of ownership. In fact, I received the same message six
times. Seems to be my week for duplicates. The list has an admin
already. I should probably look for Snowdin...
