I'd like to make clear that I am entirely unconcerned about whether a
user sends a CC when replying to a list mail and do not wish to argue
the merits or otherwise of doing so. It is the tecknical aspect of
deducing a subscription to the list from mail headers which interests
me. There isn't a way of doing this. The headers of someone's mails
are not intended to reveal what the subscription address is. Which is
not to say it isn't there; but that is the user's choice.
