And there is nothing wrong with that. There is no policy that
requires you to honor this request. It is your decision.

I agree a note in the body is not reliable. But, MFT isn't neither.
At least my MUA makes it very easy to follow the request for CC.
Anyway, how big is the problem? In the last two weeks I havn't
noticed any post to the Debian lists I read that requested a private
CC.
If you'd like so much for MFT to become widely accepted you should
lobby for it to become formal standard.
