The headers are for the two are virtually identical, but I think I see what
you mean. I am getting two, one by each route, but the "To:" displays the
same for both and the bcc doesn't show at all (as it shouldn't). This would
explain why I am getting two, and yet it appears as if both are being sent
to the same address. The only differences between the two headers is that
in one the addresses are all encased in brackets while in the other they are
not (see below)

To: <me@first.com>
Subject: new test
From: <sender@his.com>

Is that what you meant?
