So on GMail and other clients using subject-based "conversation" grouping, this is now a third thread; on clients using header-based "thread" grouping, it is still in the original.

It's fine. At least that ensure that this off-topic discussion doesn't pollute the view for clients that do not use a threaded view (looking at you, Gmail).

I actually enjoy getting the second copy, because I can independently file emails that specifically target me into a separate folder.

This feels like something the mail client should be handling, not the sender - watch/star thread, ignore/mute thread, filter by threads you've participated in, etc

The mail client can't detect whether I'm the intended "direct" recipient of a single email within a large thread. Especially not if I didn't previously participate in it, but someone wants my opinion or expertise. As Derick said: Deduplicating the email in your MUA is easy (the Message-ID is identical), but getting the second copy without the List-ID header is not easy. Best regards Tim Düsterhus
