OK, stay with me for a while and let's reason
together.
Filtering based on List-Id is filtering based on something that the
mailing list server does. It relies on actions taken by the mailing list
server, which do not depend on what the email client of the sender does.
Therefore, it is more reliable because it does not change with every
different email client.
I cannot agree more on that.
If I set the list to remove duplicates, I only receive
the private
reply, which depends on the email client of the sender, which may or may
not do the right thing. Therefore, filtering is less reliable, because
it depends on all those email clients out there to do something.
The private reply will contain a cc: field which will _always_ contain
linux-audio-user(a)lists.linuxaudio.org.
You might not have seen last weeks thread announcing the change. I
gave a link to this page
http://woozle.org/~neale/papers/reply-to-still-harmful which contains
a part named "Getting two copies of the same email". You will find
here a second method to remove duplicates based on the Message-ID
header.
Cheers,
