I am not aware of /any/ mailer that won't let you trim those addresses out.  I 
just trimmed yours out since you said you don't like duplicates.

BTW, I like duplicates, because my "personal" inbox gets more attention than 
my list boxes.  If someone replies to my post to a list I like giving it that 
extra attention.  This also allows me to have a complete "local archive" of 
the list while still getting replies in my inbox.  Nice.

How do you cut and paste an address that has been munged out?
