For one thing, he can only control header settings on mails which he sends, not on mails which other people send in reply to those mails. If he wants to be CCed on replies to those replies, as far as I know there is no header which he can set which will make that happen. For another thing, some replying practices will ignore such headers. I normally reply to list mail using Thunderbird/Icedove's "Reply to List" button, which addresses the reply only to the mailing list itself, ignoring any headers which may be set to direct replies elsewhere. I do this because otherwise the reply tends to be directed either to the original sender rather than to the list (with "Reply", in the absence of Reply-To set to the list address), or to all recipients (with "Reply All"), depending on what headers are present - and IMO neither of those is the correct default. The presence of a comment such as this one informs me that I may want to vary that practice in a given case. (I haven't done so in this case since this mail is no longer on the topic which he raised, so I don't have good reason to expect him to be interested in it.) -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. -- George Bernard Shaw
