Ahhh, okay. I wonder whether the .muttrc is flexible enough to support something like looking for known "list" addresses when you hit r, and giving you an "are you sure?" prompt... Somehow I doubt the .muttrc file is up to that job, but it might make a nice wishlist bug or even a patch if someone felt ambitious. In the meantime, good luck with your rules.

Although to be fair, I haven't found it to be much of a problem. I get the occasional off-list Cc, but not many at all. Just for fun, I should go find that procmail recipe someone posted recently for filtering out such duplicates... translate that sucker into exim filter, and maybe tack on an autoresponder...
