Yep, sup is definitely doing a good job, it seems to be sane in almost
any case.

I just checked my most active lists and they all were set to 'avoid
duplicates if your address is in CC or TO'. I changed that and will see
what happens. Maybe sup is clever enough to discard the non-list message.

happy with sup :)
