First: seeing as how your reply to can't have mail delivered to it from the outside world, I must ask if it is used for anything other than this list.  If it isn't, you could change your reply to header to fedora-xen at redhat.com and then whether someone replied to you or to all, it would only go to the group and you should get a copy.  Second: as for you missing some copies, said change, if an option, might resolve that as well.  I don't think I ever get duplicates either, and mine is set to receive duplicates as well, so that could be a bug of some sort in the list software.  Finally: regarding missing functionality in your mailer, I think all mailers have a reply to author and reply to all (albeit possibly with different names or hidden within options), but reply to all obviously includes t

In this scenario, I always reply to all and then delete the author from the to field, which is easier than replying and then replacing the author in the to field with fedora-xen at redhat.com.  However, I am not familiar with your clients, so I can't be certain such manipulation is possible, nor can I tell you how to do it, but it would blow me away if it were in fact impossible (though admittedly it could be cumbersome or annoying).

I use this email address for several lists.

I do use reply-to-all then edit, but it's tedious and error-prone.
