Step 2, have procmail dump the *PRIVATE* duplicate. I don't
like the example in the manpages using formail and the message-Id
cache. That one dumps the second copy that comes in. 99% of
the time, the private copy, going direct, gets to me before
the list copy, which has to detour via the list-server. I want
the list-copy, so that if I reply to it, the reply goes to the
list.
What I do is actually stick a simple header on anything that lands in
my primary inbox which alerts me to the fact that it was also Cc:ed to
one of the lists I read. I make the header multi-line to make it stand
out. (I do the list filtering on the From_ line when I can, so
anything not From_ one of the lists I subscribe to basically lands in
my inbox.)

My MUA selectively hides headers and so I've conveniently asked it to
hide To: and Cc: lines which match lists I subscribe to. Reduces
header clout on the screen and the X-List-Cc header is visible when
it's there, and alerts me suitably about Cc:ed mail.
