Replying to list



So, filter out the second copy on your own.  Most modern mail
filtering software will do so.  Both GNUS and Procmail certainly can
filter out duplicates based on message-id (and if the MLM changes the
message-id, it's b0rken!).

I, for one, prefer to have the reply-to NOT be the discussion list,
because it makes it much easier to reply personally when I feel that
my reply deserves a private reply.  Or sometimes I _WANT_ personal
replies (because, for example, I read personal messages much more
frequently than list messages).
