No, if somebody ccs me on a mailing list message, it is absolutely
correct that it turns up in my inbox; cjw44@flatline.org.uk means *me*,
not my motley collection of mailing list gateways. Quite often people cc
me on urgent things that I need to read immediately rather than having
them sit in a mailing list I only read once every couple of days (bug
reports are a good example). Ccs are good, and I don't want to break
them; I'm arguing against unnecessary ccs that mean it gets harder to
find urgent stuff.
Of course, you obviously don't mind, since you have a Mail-Followup-To:
header that says so.
