This is what i was referring to. Perhaps i don't understand. ;-) But the 
option does seem to work.
"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."
