John, Hopefully I'm not stepping on any toes here seeing as how you have already received a management reply and apparently there was a previous discussion, but I have a couple of thoughts. First: seeing as how your reply to can't have mail delivered to it from the outside world, I must ask if it is used for anything other than this list. If it isn't, you could change your reply to header to fedora-xen@redhat.com and then whether someone replied to you or to all, it would only go to the group and you should get a copy. Second: as for you missing some copies, said change, if an option, might resolve that as well. I don't think I ever get duplicates either, and mine is set to receive duplicates as well, so that could be a bug of some sort in the list software. Finally: regarding missing functionality in your mailer, I think all mailers have a reply to author and reply to all (albeit possibly with different names or hidden within options), but reply to all obviously includes the author, which you don't want to do. In this scenario, I always reply to all and then delete the author from the to field, which is easier than replying and then replacing the author in the to field with fedora-xen@redhat.com. However, I am not familiar with your clients, so I can't be certain such manipulation is possible, nor can I tell you how to do it, but it would blow me away if it were in fact impossible (though admittedly it could be cumbersome or annoying).

there are some things I don't like about the way this list is implemented, the key one being that it's set to default to sending replies off-list.
My preferred email clients (Thunderbird and Seamonkey) do not have any means of sending replies only to the list, so I find myself sometimes sending replies I intend for the list, off-list.
Worse, I miss replies to some of my queries; I've seen replies in the archives that haven't made it to me.
I have visited https://www.redhat.com/mailman/options/fedora-xen and turned "Avoid duplicate copies of messages" off, but still miss replies.
The whole issue would be solved, both for incoming and outgoing email, if the default list behaviour was changed to send replies to the list; this is appropriate for a discussion such as this.
Please, Could this be done?
