Why would someone get mails twice? Do you mean having the mail in some
outgoing mailbox as well as in the mailing list inbox? I guess this is
desired and useful in almost all cases (especially when having an MUA
that supports threading) and I can't imagine a reason to do it
differently (except from broken MUAs and hard bandwidth limits).
Also, wouldn't configuring the end user's MDA to deliver ML mails
originating from oneself to "/dev/null" be a sane workaround?
