Here here! I'll second this.

Mozilla mail doesn't allow for the filter setup needed to create a duplicate 
mail filter (I've been using the [luau] in the subject OR to: *contains* 
luau at videl.ics.hawaii.edu).  Unfortunately, all mail clients handle reply all 
differently.  Some will CC the list and To me, in which case the second alone 
will work (as long as I remove the first [luau] subject based one), but some 
send mail to both people in the To: field.

Also, it looks like Mozilla is nice enough to keep CCing people.  Notice that 
now there's two "things" CCed (Warren and the list).  This will keep growing if 
people keep using reply all to continue the thread.  I don't see this as a good 
thing.
