I have to disagree here :-)
To avoid what you are talking about, there is a header called
"Mail-Followup-To". Just use it: http://cr.yp.to/proto/replyto.html
If you look at the headers in this email, you will see it.
The "problem" is that many MUA's don't honor that header and when you
make a "group reply"; they include my address in the "To" or "Cc" fields
when they should not (no big deal OTOH :-).

You are receiving this mail two times (directly and from the list)
because your Mozilla has not set up this header (don't know if it has
such setting; Mutt has it, for example).
Configuring this header properly (and given MUA's which honor it
correctly), you can handle better the discussions in lists where you
might not be subscribed.
Here it is explained why "Reply-To" munging is considered "bad":
