Yes, mailman only sees one copy of the message, but it will not send me
this copy if dhml at comcast.net appears in the To: or Cc: headers.

>From the options page for "Avoid duplicate copies of messages?":

 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.

What is yours set to?  Did you receive this twice?
