Oh, I'm not saying I *want* two copies, just that I don't mind. In
fact, if a list defaults to "don't send a list copy if person is in
To/CC" I go change it, because I want the copy to be moved to the list
folder so it will be in the thread.

The problem with receiving one copy (just to me, and not the list) is
that it *won't* filter properly since it doesn't have the list headers.

But I usually just follow list convention...this message is going to
aklug only. :)
