Messages in which Hal replies to another reader have a very high incidence of double "From:" lines.

Blanc's messages also seem to have double "From:" lines quite frequently which suggests there is a common mode failure here. Are Blanc and Hal using the same mail software by any chance?

I can't decide which color crayon to use to connect them on my chart. Red, for secret lovers, or black, for evil twins?
