Ah, right.  I rarely see multiple addresses in the To header from @AOL
though, so this should be sufficient.  I have never seen multiple
addresses in From (except in the examples section of RFC 822 :-), so
that means that at most one will leak per reply.

I see your point, but why won't my suggestion of defaulting the per
user no-dupes to "on" do fine from that point of view?

Thing is, my experience has been that people who care much about their
personal setting invariably want it *on* (the ones who care and want
it off use procmail anyway; those who can't or won't use procmail
chalk it off as Insh'allah).  That's neither here nor there, except
that they would be very unhappy if the option were administratively
removed (and I would be unhappy too, "ben" is "one of *them*", and
what if "jwz" or "mly" were?  Ouch!)

I think it would be reasonable to remove *all* no-dupes members, and
if the addressees end up empty, then put the list address in To: (or
does Mailman already force the list to appear explicitly ... I guess
not, since that's one of the addressee filters).
