Just as a side comment, one trick I found very helpful in my mail filters is
to treat any message with one of my message-ids in the references as a
personal message as far as mail notifications. This way I get notifications
for any message on a thread following a post of my own.

This is easy in Gnus since the message id has the sending hostname and also
the first few characters has a base64 encoded copy of the unix userid. You
would have to figure out how to recognize message-ids from your MUA.

If you don't want duplicates, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
with the following command (or something similar to this anyway):

set pgsql-hackers eliminatecc

Whenever you're in the To: or Cc: headers, the list will not send you a
copy of the message -- so you only receive it once.

This is very true. In fact, I get mildly annoyed when people *don't* 
include the direct reply to me, because I very actively filter/redirect 
my mail. Replies directly to me are pretty much guaranteed to be seen 
quickly, but the ones that go to the list might get lost among the 
hundreds of posts that go into my "postgres" inbox every day. I think 
many other people do something similar.

Recipients that prefer not to get separate copies can indicate that desire
by including an appropiate mail-followup-to header.
Also true.

The duplication is needless. Direct replies very often get to the recipient
faster than ones sent through the lists. It is also possible that the direct
replies might be handled differently by the recipient (e.g. a filter may put
them in different folders).

Recipients that prefer not to get separate copies can indicate that desire
by including an appropiate mail-followup-to header.

It works fine for the rest of us.  Fix your mail software.
