When someone uses reply-to-all instead of reply-to-list the intention is to send two copies. There is no other reason for using reply-to-all. 2. The mechanism you want to rely on - a list not sending a copy to you because it can find out you will receive another one - is a very specific one, and will not even work in all cases. If I reply to the list, and a minute later decide to send you a private copy of my reply, then the list has no way to discover this and you wll get two copies. Same if I bcc the private copy. Filtering out duplicates _has_ to be the job of the client - it is the only place where all messages meant for it ever come together. And it's easy enough, just use the message id. -- FA Follie!
