Hmm - I wish there was some easy way of knowing when to do this or not -
I always 'g'roup reply (in mutt) so that everyone gets it.  I also
happen to like the duplicates, since a mail address to me goes in my
inbox, whereas the one with the list headers gets filtered into the
right folder so I can follow the thread.

I know that the latest mailman allows a subscribe to ask the mailing
list manager to not send to them if they're name is otherwise on the cc:
list.  Perhaps the smartlist folks could be asked to provide the same
feature.  (I think Debian uses smartlist.  The GNU servers use mailman,
so you could use that option now).

Tks,
