Right, but you get that effect equally well just by putting the
name of the person you're replying to at the beginning of the
message (like this one).  Or are you saying that getting duplicate
messages alerts me to the fact that something needs my attention?
It doesn't work that way for me.  If a message requires a reply
from me, then it had better say that explicitly.

Why not just remove the duplicate names before sending the
message?
