Bruce,

Please observe my mail headers.

  Mail-Copies-To: nobody
  X-No-CC: I subscribe to this list; do not CC me on replies.

Some MUAs are coded to respect the first of the two headers above; the
second one is for everyone else.

(Before anyone starts to argue that recipients can always filter duplicate
messages on their end -- don't.  The Debian mailing list archives contain
extensive refutations of this reasoning.  That people can also filter spam
doesn't mean it's okay for people to send it in the first place.)
