I think it's a great feature. On large lists, it can take anywhere
from 15 minutes to a couple of hours before the primary intended
recipient (the person with whom you are discussing) receives his/her
copy. That can be a great obstacle to communication, and gives a
turnaround more akin to the more considered discourse you find in the
Debate pages in a newspaper. For some topics and lists, this may be a
boon, though :-)
You do know there is software to eliminate duplicate messages on your
end?

Uh huh. To each her own.

Isn't it time we just stop supporting mail exchangers which do not
conform to standards? Hacks like this ought to be unnecessary.
