On CC: lists, yes, culling is the right thing to do, but (sadly) rarely 
practiced.

I find that the only practical option is to use procmail to remove the 
duplicates.  I use this as the very first rule:

:0 Wh: msgid.lock
| formail -D 8192 msgid.cache

This keeps an 8192 entry msgid cache and suppresses duplicates very well.  

I realize this doesn't suit everybody, but combining that with folder 
presorting etc almost makes tracking a dozen+ mailing lists almost bearable.

Cheers,
-Peter
