For example, your response had this: Mail-Followup-To: Junio C Hamano , git Suppose somebody else who read your message on the git list has something to say to _YOU_. Maybe he is pointing out some of the problems in _your_ thinking. He may not mind me hearing what he tells you, but he is primarily talking to you. Although in practice I tend to pay attention to whatever is said on the git mailing list, I certainly do not want _my_ address on the To: header of such a response. He wants to talk to _you_, not me, and I process mails addressed "To: " me, and then only when I have enough time to do so move on to other messages. You either (1) stole time from me by forcing his message addressed "To: " me, or (2) if the person who responded to your message were kind and careful enough to "fix" the header so that the message is addressed to you and demoting me to the Cc: list, then you stole time from him. With (1) you are being rude against me, and with (2) you are being rude against whoever responds to you. Please don't. Filtering duplicates on the receiving end in your mailbox should not be too much of a hassle, either.
