One of the reasons I use (^From|^TO_) is that it directs the CCs
to the list folder rather than cluttering up my personal inbox.
Procmail deletes the duplicate, whichever arrives second, as they
both have the same Message-ID.

Another reason, I guess, why we like all this open-source stuff;
we get to each set up our own environment. :)
