Thanks; this is an improvement from the current behaviour.  We do cull
duplicates if you have the same address listed on @cc twice, but we don't
do the similar culling between To:/Cc: headers.

I wonder if we should remove addresses from To: and Cc: if the same
address appears in @bcclist, by the way, but that is a separate topic.

Thanks.
