yeah that's likely the reason for the standard headers for mailing lists

i have used many an email client
kmail can setup a filer based on the mailing list headers
and i am pretty for evolution does as well
if anyone uses anything else i may have used that too and can probably help 
with setting up a filter.

i am fairly certain standard protocol for replying to a list is to set the 
list as the To: and the person who sent the email in the Cc:
this is usually take care of when you select Reply-All

but some people don't like receiving two of the same email
and there is also a header you can set that lets the client know this
not sure how many clients honour that though (i know [X]Emacs clients do)
