You realize that is extremely annoying? If you have a discussion
that is cross posted to multiple listed you will have the discussion
split over multiple folders depending on through which list you
get each email first, which tends to be reasonably random.
People need to realize that cc'ing people when unwanted is just
annoying behaviour and should not be done. Kludging around that
with procmail recipes and other tricks only introduces other
problems.
