If you enable the list-cc-me option, you don't have to type it. You'll already have that line in the message editor and can add any additional addresses you like. I really recommend using that option. >> - If you were used to adding an x-debbugs-cc to yourself for most bugs >> you submit, you might want to check the list-cc-me (likely together with >> no-cc) configuration options.

It has been the default since November 2018, although only for users without mta or custom smtphost; otherwise it is still commented out when the configuration file is written. We should possibly enable it for everybody by default in new configuration files. > I did notice diverging behaviour between some systems; those > installed more recently put me on X-Debbugs-Cc, but not visibly > in the message. Older reportbug versions already used to set X-Debbugs-Cc via a 'header' directive in the config file. This was changed to list-cc-me in 2018. The visibility change was just implemented and uploaded a few days ago, so it is not surprising if you haven't encountered it yet. > So please bring it back. I'm quite convinced that this is not a good idea. We'd have to add code to first identify any existing X-Debbugs-Cc pseudoheader and then add the new recipient to it, or add a new line if there isn't any. And we'd do this inside a message that was just edited by the user anyway and that can easily be edited further. If this were your developer time, would you want to spend it on that?
