I have a similar configuration with many separate folders for mailing
lists. I receive mail with fetchmail and employ procmail for sorting
mail out (probably, not a common setup nowadays).
My trick to get extra copies of direct replies to my own mails in
mailing lists (I place such copies into a dedicated folder) is to keep
a local cache of Message-IDs of my own sent messages and then check
In-Reply-To: header in the received mails against this cache. It is
done with a couple of relatively simple rules in ~/.procmailrc that
make use of formail and grep.
