On one list that I am on, the TO: and CC: portions of the header
are unmunged. The only way to differentiate the list v author replies is
by examining the routing in the headers, or by the extraneous advertising
that the list's host appends to every message (which thus makes it
possible to differentiate by length). On at least THAT list, the filter
you describe would simply delete ALL copies of REPLIES, which might be a
little anti-social :-)
