Thank you. ;)

It's mostly just a nuisance for me (and, it seems, others) when I read an
e-mail, hit the 'next' button, and read the same thing again. I then look at
which one is from the list, and remove the other (I keep personal archives).
With most mailing lists, the delay between a direct e-mail and one sent to the
list is a few seconds (for this list, unless their servers are having 
problems,
but that applies to personal ones as well, just in a lesser degree) to a few
minutes (freeglut and freelords lists hosted on SourceForge).
