The filters get screwed up by them so they never get triaged properly, and 
there's no way to fix that, because all 3 of the messages are the same. So, 
instead of going into the dmd-internals, druntime, and Phobos folders like 
they should, they all end up in my inbox. If they were sent to each list 
individually (even if the body of the messages were identical), then that 
wouldn't be a problem - the "To" fields just need to not contain multiple lists 
in them. But obviously that isn't the case with cross-posting.

Like I said, it's not the end of the world, but it is annoying.

And actually, I'm inclined to think that most posts like this should just go 
to the Phobos list rather than being cross-posted, because the conversations 
end up in up to 3 separate lists this way, and I would think that all of the 
devs with commit access would be subscribed to the Phobos list. If a post is 
specifically for internals or druntime, then posting there makes sense, but I 
don't know that it helps us any to post the same thing to 3 different lists.

Again, it's not the end of the world, but it is somewhat problematic.
