Hi,

A combination of:

  Receive your own posts to the list?  --> Yes

and

  Avoid duplicate copies of messages?  --> Yes

produces the desired behavior of avoiding duplicates while still 
receiving copies of your own messages.

On the subject of default "reply-to" behavior, my preference is to be 
set to reply to the list as most list discussions are not meant to be 
private exchanges.  Having said that, I don't think there is a "right" 
and a "wrong" way to do it, just personal preference.

P.S. It helps that my MUA (KMail) is smart enough to "reply to" the list 
when it detects list-related headers.
