Mailman always defaults to "suppress copy from list if the sender already CCed the recipient". The argument was that those directly involved in the discussion would get their emails faster. It also threw things out of order at times, emails could not be relied on to have a correct Date: stamp, especially when delayed in sending on badly/temporarily connected hosts. I always want everything from the list directly, that also makes procmail work. The personal copy just gets deleted. I deal with mailing lists in bursts. +1 for always getting my list copy.
