It is very unlikely to be of direct use to others, but nonetheless here is what I do to mitigate the problem. I download my messages from the server in two steps/passes: first all list messages (those with a List-Post header), then all other messages. Each downloaded message passes through a "formail -D " step before it drops into a folder on my desktop. This way unwanted personal copies are almost always filtered. The only scenarios where this will fail are: the personal copy arrives on the server much sooner than the list copy and is downloaded by an earlier run, or the sender is devious enough to set 2 distinct Message-IDs. So far neither has happened to me in the year+ I've been with this setup. -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.
