Most people seem to think that replying to the list only is the
correct behavior. Personally, I far prefer receiving replies to my own
messages in my personal mail box rather than digging through the
archives of a high-volume mailing list searching for replies. Since a
lot of people send replies to me only to the lists, I modified my
Universal Mailing List Sorter procmail recipie to dump a copy of
mailing-list replies to me into my inbox. Later this was ported to
maildrop (which rocks!). I would post the code but unfortunally it's
heavily dependent on the mailing list filter I use... oh well, I'll
include the whole mailing list filter (I hope your MUA's don't wrap
the three long lines):
