Yes.  Applies equally well to MUAs.

Hey, you're the one complaining about the duplicates.  If you don't
want to run a proper MUA, and you want to correct it in your mail
server, follow the instructions in the pervious post.  Otherwise,
quit your complaining, because no one is going to change all the
MUA's, mail servers, and mailing list software in the world to be
different than it is, just to make you not need to type in list
addresses on intentional posts, to avoid "accidently" posting
private email to mailing lists.

You're still not running the full version of "Outlook".

And take responsibility when your defective coping mechanism results
in private emails bein posted to a public mailing list, in whole or
in part.

No one asked you to "compete and conquer", only to appologize
for something you claimed as a mistake, which hardly anyone
actually believes was a mistake, but would be willing to treat
it as such, as a polite fiction, were you to acknowledge that
your error was in fact an error.
