Just found this buried among some other old mail:

I don't have any ideas about what could be causing it, but you can try
some things to track it down:

    Send several messages with "debug 4" in effect.  Mush won't run
    sendmail, but will instead print to standard output what it would
    have sent to sendmail.

    Drop back to "debug 2" and "set verbose".  Send several more messages
    (the same ones, if you can).

    Try each of these both with and without "set edit_hdrs".

    Try several times to verify that ~p doesn't show the duplicated data,
    i.e., that the problem is happening when you send and not when you
    edit.
