That's what I meant by broken. I strip the bogus reply-to headers. Replying
to the list when you mean to reply to an indivual in private is usually
a worse mistake than the converse.

You can use mail-followup-to to specify that followups shouldn't to you
directly. Some list processing software can also detect that you are cc'd
and not send you a copy from the list in that case.

A second copy of a message directly to you can have benefits in some cases.
Particular examples are when the lists are slow and when you want to filter
messages sent to you separately for special attention.
