Err, who said anything about mutt? I have never used that
program, since when I tested it out I found it kinda under powered,
and lacked extensibility.

If these Jane/Joe users want a reliable copy of the message,
then they should subscribe to the mailing list -- or hope that an
explicit request for a CC is honored. Nothing actually guarantees a CC
anyway -- but setting MFT increases their chances of a reply from
people like me, whose MUA's are configures to honor an MFT.

I am personally not very interested in people who are
unwilling to learn how to use their tools, and expect me to ask how
high when they sa jump.
If you are unwilling to learn how to set a MFT, get used to
sometimes missing out a CC from me. Getting a CC is not an
entitlement.
