Along these same lines, I had something funny (bad) happen recently.

I reply to emails using the "reply to all" feature of my mail client.  It 
replies (not unreasonably, I think) to the list (as specified by List-ID), 
the To, From, and CC.  It seems to eliminate any duplicates as well as my own 
address.  This had a bad effect recently where I duplicated a message to the 
-questions mailing list because it was To: questions@ with a List-ID of 
freebsd-questions@ .  My question is, other than paying careful manual 
attention to where my replies are going, is there something that should be 
changed on my client or on the server to make it more obvious that those 2 
email addresses are (for my purposes at least?) the same?

Looking forward to replies,

Eric
