I suggested this in the original thread, not to eliminate the duplicate,
but to make it easier to do so. A simple delete of the cc: line would
do it. On the other hand, if Joe sends me and a few others a message,
he definitely needs to be copied when I 'reply to all.'

annoy people if you don't have to?
