Well, in general, I agree. However, I only ever see users of Mutt request usage of MFT. And that is just one single mail client. And I don't know of any other mail client which directly supports that header. > Intentionally refusing to CC people not setting that header but > requesting it manually it also impolite. But it easily happens > unintentionally, so better set that little header. Set it how? As noted before, most mail clients (including kmail and the highly popular Thunderbird, which I also happen to use on all my computers) don't support it. You are effectively asking people to patch their mail client and/or switch to mutt (which is the only mail client I know which supports MFT). cu, sven
