   Yes.  As I recall UCLA mail uses the X-tags that LISTSERV uses for internal
use.  The duplication happens, as I recall, when there are other recipients
besides the list in the original mail.  Listserv changes these to X-To: and
then when UCLA mail gets them bad things happen.  I don't know if there is
a fix for this or not.  This was a year or so ago.  But to avoid problems
I've standardized on X-Tags= Comment .  I don't know of any systems using
comments for routing.  ;-)
