why?
i can almost understand someone choosing to use a crappy mailer that
doesn't support the feature, but i can't at all understand deliberately
disabling a useful feature - even if it isn't an RFC standard yet.
mail-followup-to and mail-copies-to are THE solution to this perennial
flamewar. it's a way of allowing people to set their preferences just
once and then forget about it (when all/most MUAs support it, that is).
on tech lists like debian-devel, that's a fairly likely occurence. on
non-tech lists, someone like branden wouldn't notice the CCs because
they'd be lost in the noise of even more annoying email habits.

now where would be the fun in that? brandon's buttons are so easy to
push.

ps: your reply-to or whatever header was wrong. you had lists.debina.org
rather than lists.debian.org
