Comment (by hinder):

 As far as I know, the mail server at the ISP will recognise that the
 message ids are the same and won't deliver it twice.  I certainly don't
 get the message twice, and a little googling reveals that this is a known
 problem.  I agree that a Reply-To-List option in all email clients would
 be good, but since not all email clients have that, I don't think we can
 make it part of the solution.  Apple Mail does not have it.

 Setting Reply-To to the mailing list would solve this problem, encourage
 discussion on the mailing list, won't need us to "educate" users about an
 obscure feature of their mail client, won't need people to change their
 mail client in order to use the list conveniently, and will work for
 everyone.
