Well, Thunderbird, which I use as mail client can't deduplicate the
mail. Especially if the mail that went through list have few extra
headers and a footer added, so these mails are no longer the same. So
I end up with two almost identical mails in my inbox.

As for replying, there is usually no button "reply to list" in mail
clients I use (not in thunderbird or in gmail), so whether I press
reply or reply to all, I have to manually edit To: so there would be
only list.

Neither thunderbird or gmail does that.
