If you're annoyed by cc:s (well, Holger, I know you are, you told me about that
more than once :-) ), configure your mailclient to set Mail-Followup-To and hope
for the next poster's mailclient to support that header. Which actually means
that, to a certain degree, those annoyed by cc:s could themselves do something
about it.

Mail-Followup-To is:
     A. Useless junk without clear semantics
     B. Violating standards
     C. Only supported by a handful of clients
     D. Obi-wan Kenobi says: “All of the above”

Perfectly well defined.

It wasa draft and the fourth line:
Expires: May 1998                                         November 1997


I don't think it is perfectly defined.

Anyway, the first rule of internet:
"be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others",
so people should accept wrong CC:s without crying, and people should follow
the CoC when sending mails.
