Ahhh, okay.
I wonder whether the .muttrc is flexible enough to support something
like looking for known "list" addresses when you hit r, and giving you
an "are you sure?" prompt...
Somehow I doubt the .muttrc file is up to that job, but it might make a
nice wishlist bug or even a patch if someone felt ambitious.
In the meantime, good luck with your rules. Please do post if you get
them perfected.

Good point. Although to be fair, I haven't found it to be much of a
problem. I get the occasional off-list Cc, but not many at all.
Just for fun, I should go find that procmail recipe someone posted
recently for filtering out such duplicates... translate that sucker into
exim filter, and maybe tack on an autoresponder...
Cheers!
