You received two copies because I addressed my response
to you directly (to make sure you received it), as well as to 
the info-mcl list (in case others found the information useful.)

Unix's sendmail is too stupid to realize that you were also
a subscriber to info-mcl, so it delivered two copies to you.

In general, you should not receive any double copies from info-mcl
mail which is not addressed specifically to you, such as this one.
