Yes. The emails have an X-list field in the header. That's why
Evolution, for instance, can filter by mailing list.
Hopefully it's using the List-* headers that are the standard,
particularly List-Id, in preference.
Some email clients will even handle lists that subvert Reply-To.
It doesn't help you filter the copies that you get when someone
replies
to all. Personally I want to get a copy so I can easily see that
someone
has replied to me. Not everyone likes that. But this isn't anything
unusual. It's what most mailing lists do. See most GNOME lists, for
instance.
In general, it's the MUA that sends your copy, and in addition, the
list server sends another. Both have the same Message-Id, and that
can mean your mailserver decides you have it already, and drops the
duplicate.
There are headers suggested that request the reader's MUA to send you
copies (or not), too.
Someone will complain about whatever mailing list setup you use,
however. Even me.
Sure, and it's important to consider the audience, as well. If the
maemo-users@ list set Reply-To and had a subject tag, I'd consider
that reasonable. A maemo-developers@ list that did the same would be
irritating.
