I think the latest versions of mailman do this.

Also they fix Paul Makepeace's bugbear of not mailing those who are
already CC'd.

Mailman has some excellent, progressive features now.  Of course both
these features can be switched on or off per list.

What it still doesn't do is to make reply-to munging a per-user option,
that would be nice.
