I am amazed that you don't see that what your MUA is doing is actually
both wrong and that it inconveniences people.
For example, because it put *my* address in the list for your message
above, it caused my MUA quite correctly to add a To: line to myself,
which I certainly didn't want to do.
And it's completely unnecessary. For example, I have set my majordomo
preferences for the postgresql.org lists not to send me copies of emails
where I am also in the To: or Cc: lines. After doing that I get no
duplicates.
And I don't casue anyone else to have to edit the addresses when they
reply to my mail.
If you want to ensure that you reply to a list, use an MUA that has a
reply-to-list command - I see you use mutt, which has such a command IIRC.
