In general I've found that expecting everybody else to "do the right
thing" isn't really a great solution.  Plus the "right thing" isn't
always easy to define, especially when you have cross-posting, people
CC'ed who aren't on the list, and so on.  The email client has no way
to know which email addresses resolve to the same people.

I generally use procmail to solve this issue.  It is pretty easy to
configure it to discard duplicate emails based on message ID.
