A 'global option' implementation of this is in version control (it was
one of my priorities when choosing an MLM, and since Mlmmj ticked most
other boxes, I chose to use Mlmmj and implement that feature myself). It
will be in 1.2.18 when it finally gets out, hopefully soon.... I use it
in production and it seems to work fine.

I agree, it's a personal preference thing, though, so it would be good
for users to be able to choose for themselves whether they want this.

I get around it by subscribing to the list with a different email to
that which I post from, since I'm pretty much the only person on the
list who likes to see the echoes.

A special version of the list is an interesting thought. That might be a
way to quickly offer that functionality before we get more per-user
options/data supported. Though perhaps it's better to wait for more
per-user options to do this, which is what I was intending.
