That is nonsense, I don't want to receive duplicated messages, so for
all for mailman lists I'm subscribed, such as this list, I enabled:

"Avoid duplicate copies of messages?

When you are listed explicitly in the To: or Cc: headers of a list
message, you can opt to not receive another copy from the mailing list.
Select Yes to avoid receiving copies from the mailing list; select No
to receive copies.

If the list has member personalized messages enabled, and you elect to
receive copies, every copy will have a X-Mailman-Copy: yes header added
to it."

I only received one mail and I'm not willing to change my mailman
settings, so that I need to receive duplicates.

It's simply true that I didn't make a mistake. It's simply wrong to Cc
to mailing lists. Period.

Regards,
Ralf
