Are you looking for a client, or a host?

I'm a Google apps/domain user still. This is neat and annoying.

Neat, because it's basically deduplication. If somebody emails you
directly, AND a mail list you're on, you'll only end up with one copy of
the message, even though you'd normally be given a duplicate.

In this case, the message received from the list is a duplicate of the
message in your sent folder.

However, whether it is a byproduct of my kwlug-disc filter, or some
other behaviour, that message is still tagged to my "kwlug"
label/folder. So in mutt via imap, I still "see" my message in the
correct place (like setting record="^" in mutt). So my real world impact
is pretty minimal.

However, it is annoying to not receive the list copy. I could be
banned, dropped, or caught in a spam filter without noticing.
