Also, I have modules that do just do echo for BOM generation. So they don't operate on their children or make shapes.

The OpenSCAD Mailing-list uses Mailman3. Subscribers can change their Profile settings via https://lists.openscad.org/profile, you will need to sign-in. Profile settings are also under the top/right user menu in the EMPATHY archive browser. The settings are: (the starred setting will prevent duplicates when someone uses Reply-All) I haven't checked, but quite possibly the mailing list suppresses the copy that it would send to you when it sees that you're on the To/CC list and so would have gotten a copy directly. That's one of the Mailman 2 options. So your mail client is not doing something magic... you're just looking at a message that the mailing list didn't have a chance to muck with.
