I use Gnus, and used `G p' in the *Groups* buffer to set the group
properties of this mail group, adding:
(to-address . "Debian Developers' Forum <debian-devel@lists.debian.org>")
... to the list. Now when I push the follow-up key, that's the only
header that gets inserted. It omits the uneccesary `Cc:' list, so
people won't get two copies.

Gnus can be configured to drop or elide duplicate messages, based on
the Message-Id: header that `sendmail' (and probably other mailer
daemons) adds.

It supports a `Mail-Replys-To:' header, which many people set to
"never".
