Yes, if your MUA forces you to do so. However, I think the better
approach is to lean back a moment and think about it: Why would anyone
want to have the reply twice? Is there any technical reason why you
would receive one mail but not the other?

Whatever the RFCs say, I think the motivation is clear: Don't send the
mail twice. It is highly unlikely that anyone would post on a list but
not be able to read it, so one reply is enough.
