Bug Description
This seems to be common among the entire system, but I first noticed this with a mailing list.
On a mailing list, if a user is a member of two different teams and one of those teams is signed up to the others mailing list, a user will get that exact same message twice. I imagine using teams to join teams -and- sign up for the mailing list is uncommon and probably not the smartest move... but... it is being done. It would be preferable if the user were only messaged once.
I see this same behavior with bugs. If a user is getting notifications from a team that is in charge of bugs and they change one of those bugs, they will get a message about their actions twice. Once is plenty for something you're doing your self. Happens for blueprints too.

It should not be possible for a team to subscribe to a mailing list. Teams don't have active account status so even if that were possible, they should never be able to receive mailing list postings.
However, I don't quite understand the bug report. Are you saying that the duplicate message is a mailing list post from a person, or a message generated by Launchpad in response to some event?
