Uhm.  So what makes you have the list in BOTH the To: and Cc: headers?
A couple other problems:
  -you don't know what to do if you're replying to the first post of a
   thread (so you'll have to pick a default action)
and
  -the person that you're replying to might send a copy to the person
   and the list because that person had requested to be Cc'ed.
