         There are two reasons,
1.  The buttons available on most email programs are:
         Reply to sender
         Reply to all
         forward.

2. Many filter incoming mail to read at later time. So if you have reply to 
someone's email
         and you want that person  to read it immediately and also post it 
to the list you reply to all.

If you get a duplication it means that someone wants to make sure you read 
it right away.
Or you have subscribed twice.
