Fine, so use the CC, too. It's really not that complicated:
Case 1: To: personal-address[es]
no CC:
personal mail (recipient's personal address is in To:)
Case 2: To: personal-address[es]
CC: personal-address[es] or list-address[es]
personal mail if recipient's personal address is in To: or CC:
list mail if recipient's personal address isn't in To: or CC:
Case 3: To: list-address[es]
no CC:
list mail
Case 4: To: list-address[es]
CC: personal-address[es] or list-address[es]
personal mail if recipient's personal address is in To: or CC:
list mail if recipient isn't in To: or CC:
Which boils down to:
General Case:
To: address[es]
CC: address[es] (optional)
personal mail if recipient's personal address is in To: or CC:
list mail if recipient's personal address isn't in To: or CC:
