Search google for "reply-to munging considered harmful" to understand,
why it is the way it is.

If you go to this site:

you can set a preference, so that you don't get duplicate mails
delivered. It's called "Avoid duplicate copies of messages?" and I
think, it even defaults to "On" with ardour-lists. So you won't get
any mail from the list, if you are in the CC-list and this setting is
active.

Ciao
