Or wait for the list to move to mailman.  Mailman is smart enough to see if
you are recieving a copy of the message directly.  If you are then mailman
will not send you out a copy because you already got one.

I agree with Charlie on this one.  If you set the reply-to header to the list
then there is no easy to reply directly to the sender.  It is a matter of
saying to yourself do I want to reply to the sender directly or to all (list
and sender).
