hmm. Didn't notice "upbrade" rather than "upgrade" until I was actually 
replying. ;-)

Anyway, so Thunderbird doesn't qualify on that count.

Nor does Apple's Mail app.

And Eudora is essentially gone now.

So, I'm not sure what you mean by "nearly all recent MUA".

I found an "experimental" add-on (a version 0.3.1) for Thunderbird that 
will do it, but unless it's in the MUA as a standard feature, you can't 
count on it as a standard behavior. I'll try the add-on, because it may 
be easier if it works, but I always do a reply-all and then remove 
everything but the list. I think that is what most people who actually 
think about it do. But, I get plenty of duplicates from lists that I 
participate in, because plenty of people don't think about it.
