I don't have a usenet provider, I use the straight email, collected as
regular email, by Thunderbird.  I thought for a while that perhaps my
imap provider had hiccupped, and just reloaded all the same messages. 
But it happened in several sessions, and for the messages I checked, the
emails were *NOT* identical.

That may be because many other messages (including this one from you)
list the newsgroup in the headers, so a reply-all generates it as one of
the recipients.  The only reason I don't fall into that trap is that I
have Thunderbird configured to *not* send to any newsgroup.
