Actually, please don't do that.  Please delete all of the addresses
except the person you're replying to, and the address of the list.
This is the long-hallowed Internet tradition; people generally want to
get mail that is personally to them directly.

Whisper the magic incantation:

:0 Wh: msgid.lock
| formail -D 8192 msgid.cache

Then you will always get only the first copy.
