I can't reproduce this.  After one `C-d', I get a summary buffer like
this:

| Martin Svenson        bugfix: python.el: completion in inferior python

With another `C-d', I get:

| m  n/a Martin Svenson        <* mixed> bugfix: python.el: completion [...]
|    n/a Martin Svenson        <1 text>
|    n/a Martin Svenson        <2 text> "python-el-completion-fix.patch"

I didn't know that `gnus-summary-enter-digest-group' can handle it,
but after someone mentioned some rmail undigest command, I just tried
it.  ;-)

I'm not subscribed to emacs-devel, I read it via Gmane, so I don't get
duplicates in the first place.

I split Cc-ed mailing list message to special Gnus group, so it's no
big deal to receive Cc's, but they are not necessary for me.  If it is
annoying for you, I try to avoid it in the future.

Does `message-dont-reply-to-names' include your name or address?  In
this case, Gnus shouldn't reply to you, I think (I'm to lazy to look
into the code).

Bye, Reiner.
