I used to have to do that, so I sure was glad when Thunderbird
implemented the Reply-To-List function... now I just press CTRL-SHIFT-L,

that doesn't have proper list headers (like the yahoo lists), and then I
fall back to the old CTRL-SHIFT-R (Reply All) and then delete the one to
the OP...
Indeed, both respondents to my post have taken care to only reply to
list, however, here is an extract from the headers of an old post:

I would have expected to see two copies of this post - preferably one in
my normal inbox, the other redirected by pigeonhole, to my dovecot
mailist folder. However, I could only find a single copy (in my dovecot
folder) so have to believe that something, somewhere, eliminated the
duplicate.
My curiosity was aroused because I received a reply on another mailist,
before I had configured a separate folder and sieve filter for it. In
that case, the message which survived was the one sent directly to my
inbox - the copy to the mailist disappeared. This makes me think the
the duplicate removal must be happening somewhere in
pigeonhole/dovecot/thunderbird since none of the stages before those
would have any knowledge about the existence of the separate folder.
However, I have have searched in the configurations, and failed to find
any configuration setting which controls duplicate removal.
I'm not unhappy that I only see a single copy, but I would like to know
what became of the other one - I feel uneasy when things disappear
without explanation!
BTW, I used Thunderbird's 'reply list' button when posting this, so the
only copy should be the one to the mailist.
