This is a bug that was fixed in 2.1.6. If you are running pre-2.1.6
Mailman and are unable to upgrade, you can fix this by changing the
last few lines of Mailman/Handlers/AvoidDuplicates.py from

    # RFC 2822 specifies zero or one CC header
    del msg['cc']
    msg['Cc'] = COMMASPACE.join([formataddr(i) for i in
ccaddrs.values()])

to

    # RFC 2822 specifies zero or one CC header
    del msg['cc']
    if ccaddrs:
        msg['Cc'] = COMMASPACE.join([formataddr(i) for i in
ccaddrs.values()])


Note in each of the above fragments, the last line is wrapped by my MUA.
