I don't have a particularly slick way of dealing with it. I've 
discovered that messages are often left in my $TMP directory (or /tmp) 
and not deleted for some reason, and that sometimes saves me the 
trouble of retyping it, but for the most part, I value the sanity of 
not having to store that many duplicate messages over the convenience 
of not having to retype things on the rare occasion that they are 
lost.

It occurs to me, though, that you may be able to have procmail feed 
your mailing list messages (whose return address match your posting 
address) to a script that will extract the message-ID (e.g. with 
formail) and delete the message with that message-ID from your sent 
mailbox (this is easy if Sent is stored as a Maildir, probably harder 
if it's an mbox), and then deliver the message to the mailing list 
folder.
