The perfect setup would be this:

That might be your perfect setup, but maybe not everyone agrees.

IMO, the best solution is to let each poster decide for themselves.
And you can do that.  Add a

  Mail-Copies-To: never

header to your list mail if you don't want to be CC'ed.  Are there
problems with this solution?  Is (should) it be documented somewhere?


I think this should be documented in a maintainer's guide as a suggestion.
So when people don't want to be cc'ed they just perform this. I didn't know
this so I'll probably be using this from now now.

(I'm using mozilla now, I said reply-all.. Can you please check the headers?)

Thanks,
