If you dislike two copies, then I don't understand why you have
included Mail-Followup-To: Ken Weingold <hazmat@hellrot.org>,
in your headers.
But you can always put something like
# Eliminate duplicates
:0 Wh: msgid.lock
| formail -D 99999 msgid.cache
in your .procmailrc file.
A lot of people seem to ask for Cc: replies, perhaps because
they have difficulty keeping abreast of such a heavy traffic
list.
Cheers,
