: Not really. It is an unfortunate side effect of the reply-to header for
the list
: being changed to the sender instead of the list. Most people just hit
group
: reply (reply all, whatever) in order to get the list in the to header. So
you
: are getting one copy from the list and one from the sender directly.

: May I take this oportunity to vote for a return to the old method. I know
there
: are some lengthly rants on this subject, but my personal experience is
that I
: almost never reply to the sender instead of the list. So for me, the
default of
: reply going to the list is the preferable (lazy) option. And it avoids the
: double copy problem, which is a bit annoying (though just a bit).
