One message alone might not give enough clues. Seeing what is the

Just this one, and that is because you use "reply-to-all".
I've seen some scattered (on-list) duplicates from people, but when I
looked (to see if it was the start of a flood from some misconfigured
system) they were both injected into the mail system by the OP at
(slightly) different times. I dismissed those as accidental
reposting (by hitting "send" twice or something, you can do that on
web forms).
