Unless everybody uses perfect mail clients that compensate 
completely for the mailing list configuration, it will 
still be a mess to handle.

For example:

I know how to filter duplicate messages, but only those
delivered though the mailing list system are tagged as
belonging on the list.  And since the list system is slower
than direct delivery, the versions tagged with the list
information are removed as duplicates, whereas the copies
sent directly to me end up in the "random non-junk folder"  
instead of in the appropriate folder for the list.

But I can of course advise everybody to use Procmail to
filter messages from the list and change the "Reply-To"  
header so it points to the list, no matter what our list
administrator thinks is right.
