>From Debian Developer's Reference, 4.1 Mailing lists:
When replying to messages on the mailing list, please do not send
a carbon copy (CC) to the original poster unless they explicitly
request to be copied. Anyone who posts to a mailing list should
read it to see the responses.

but I think it's good practice for any mailing.
