I send a message to drums@cs.utk.edu and nonsubscriber@netcom.com.

The drums MLM figures out, correctly, that followups should go to
drums@cs.utk.edu and nonsubscriber@netcom.com, not to me.

But nonsubscriber@netcom.com never receives this information. He sends
an extra copy to me.

How do I solve this? Answer: Mail-Followup-To. The MUA, not the MLM,
sets the information, so it's in _every_ copy of the message. See?
