The reason that the header is included, is that that is whence this query
arises.

The email above, appears to have been sent to a red hat mailing list, and 
yet it has a Reply To address of the PLUG mailing list.

When I initiated this reply to the message (with this query), the header
of my message, showed To: <PLUG mailing list> Cc: <red hat mailing list>.

Is this what happens when a person cross-posts to different mailing lists?

If not, what has caused the header irregularity, on the message above from
Jon Miller?
