Yes, but note that (as I mentioned earlier), the fact that you got a copy from the list *carries a meaning* additional to its content: that the rest of the list got to see it also. If I was on a list, and got copies of messages to me that were *not* also carboned to me, but did *not* get messages from the list which it "noticed" *were* carboned to me as well, *I* would assume the list wasn't reliable, and I suspect I'm not alone. People who get duplicate copies because senders don't understand how to deal with mailing lists, or who won't switch to a *mailer* that understands how to deal with mailing lists, should have the pain of the recipients we're trying to protect here transferred to *them*.
