Or just use the ``Reply All'' feature. I hate to keep a dead topic 
alive, but mailman has a neat setting that prevents you from getting 
duplicate emails across multiple lists _and_ if your address is also in 
the to/cc.

Really, this is a user issue, not a software/software settings issue. 
Learn to use your mail client and your settings or don't use lists.

I don't mean to come across harshly and this is directed towards nobody 
in particular.
