Email clients filter duplicates based on the message id header.  When
you "reply all", the individual messages sent to all the recipients
all have the same message id.

A list server _should_ rebroadcast incoming messages with their ids
unchanged.  A recipient that receives a message directly and also
receives a copy from the list *should* see them as duplicates, and a
mail client _normally_ should not deliver duplicates.

But I think Google Groups is changing the message ids when it
broadcasts, with the result that mail clients think the copies from
the list are new messages.


I don't see duplicates from non-Google-hosted lists even if I am CC'd
directly.  My opinion is Google's server is misconfigured.

YMMV,
