My email routes copies of messages I'm cc'd on to my inbox, rather than the 
list.  For most lists I can just filter on the ones the list ID say came from 
the server and file that copy in the mailing list folder, and the other copy 
winds up in my inbox, but the busybox mailserver thinks it knows better and 
doesn't send me a second copy when it sees I'm cc'd...

I think we can live. :)

The problem that annoys me more is that if I go "tar xjfCv filename.tbz 
dirname files" it tries to create a file called "Cv" and complains it can't 
add filename.tbz to it...
