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.
Though reading that help text, you'd think it could still leave the persons name in the CC on the mail sent to the list, just not deliver the list message to that person. So perhaps you could argue it's a bug.
Yes, this is a mailman misfeature exascerbated by their misleading help text. IMHO setting that option is never the right thing.
