I suspect he didn't. I've seen many instances here where posts appear 
twice (or more). In my own experience of running mailling lists over the 
years, I've found this is often caused by some broken Exchnge server 
somewhere....

No idea about this though - I had the same issues, but have stuck to 1.2 
for the time being.

(And from what I recall, it was nothing to do with the way BT sent the 
information, but the wctdm driver simply being "broke" until the patch 
fixed it)
