I have a far bigger problem with the notion that somebody advanced

I'm alone in this.
I don't think it makes sense (it isn't desirable) for multiple keeps
to be different than a single keep.
Ned's saying it isn't possible. That rules out desirability.
Is there any case where writing a message to a single mailbox twice is
useful?
Please ignore this part of my message. I appear to have gotten very
confused. My apologies to both Randy and Ned for missing this point.
