The mutt mailreader, for example, will Do The Right Thing when you reply
to an address which you have told mutt is a mailing list to which you
are subscribed.

The first procmail rule I have is to discard duplicate emails.

Between those two pieces of magic, people can cc: me all they want, and
I'll only see one.  (Modulo post-compiler-release days, when the mail
backlog is so long that the duplicate-email cache expires.)
