Then maybe you should fix your mail settings. Remove the reply-to header
from your mail because then you won't be on the reply-to header of the
mail sent from the list server. With your present setting you explicitly
demand a personal copy. Then it isn't polite to complain about those
duplicate mails, IMHO.
