No, if somebody ccs me on a mailing list message, it is absolutely correct that it turns up in my inbox; [EMAIL PROTECTED] means *me*, not my motley collection of mailing list gateways. Quite often people cc me on urgent things that I need to read immediately rather than having them sit in a mailing list I only read once every couple of days (bug reports are a good example). Ccs are good, and I don't want to break them; I'm arguing against unnecessary ccs that mean it gets harder to find urgent stuff. Of course, you obviously don't mind, since you have a Mail-Followup-To: header that says so. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
