The duplication is needless. Direct replies very often get to the recipient
faster than ones sent through the lists. It is also possible that the direct
replies might be handled differently by the recipient (e.g. a filter may put
them in different folders).

Recipients that prefer not to get separate copies can indicate that desire
by including an appropiate mail-followup-to header.
