This isn't typical at all.  Smart mail clients respond to the List-Post
header.  Otherwise, the "From" or "Reply-to" header is in the TO, and CCs
are in the CC.  afaict, nothing is actually "typical".

I don't think so, but I'm not reading via the list.

Not my situation at all, thanks.  As I said, I get it via gmane news. 
However, again, smart mail clients filter on the List headers - in which
case "to or CC" would be missed.  Of course I DON'T want list posts
filtered via To or CC, as I specifically want stuff posted TO me in my
inbox.

No, I don't.  You're missing the point.  Many of us using the Ubuntu lists
read them via gmane.  If we wanted mail, we'd subscribe to the list. 
There's nothing wrong with gmane's gateway, I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE CC'd on
everything.

It's not gmane's problem, it's rude posters.

I don't want to prevent people talking to me, I just don't want you sending
me copies I'm obviously going to see anyway.  I have always made it a point
of using valid email addresses on news & lists and I don't plan to change
now.

I'd rather try to educate users not to CC posters who are already going to
see the mail.  If, otoh, individuals like you and Donn insist on CC'ing me
when I politely ask you not to, I'll just filter those individuals.

As for tackling the issue for all users, just who should be doing that? 
_My_ mail client already behaves properly - if I reply, it goes to the
list, if I reply-all it goes to the list and CCs the poster.  Yours,
apparently, misbehaves.
