It has been particularly annoying that in either case the directly
addressed copy arrives first, so that it is always the list copy which
goes into duplicates. That resulted in list mail in the personal folder.
But none of this is hard to fix.
In procmail, using the ^TO_ macro and the List-Post address, instead of ^From,
fixes it so that whether To-ed or CC-ed, the first copy to arrive goes to the
list folder. Then the duplicates rule snaffles the latecomer, and there's no
pollution of the personal folder. The thread in the list folder is
complete.

That has served my needs for some time now. YMMV.
