admin: prevent list cc's

admin: prevent list cc's

[Ami Fischman]

BTW, I read this list via nntp.  Is there a way to prevent getting a
courtesy copy of replies to me mailed to me?  Basically I'm asking if
there's an antonym for Mail-Followup-To headers...;)

Thanks,

Add a "Mail-Copies-To: nobody" header field.  You can use posting
styles to automate this.

Ah.  Thanks for the pointer.  I don't want to use posting styles (since I
have my own home-rolled sending-hook-message-modifying stuff going on).  I
thought adding:
  (message-default-headers
   (concat message-default-headers "Mail-Copies-To: nobody\n"))
to the last form in the 'G E' (gnus-group-edit-group) buffer would do it,
but apparently not...  In the gnus.ding summary buffer, the
message-default-headers has the right value (which is different from the
global value), but when I hit 'a' to compose a news message,
message-default-headers reverts back to its global value.  is the group-edit
not the right place to put this modification?  Do I really need a hook on
creating the message that checks if the gnus.ding ng is the recipient and if
so adds the extra header?

Does it help to add message-default-headers to gnus-newsgroup-variables?

Interestingly enough, now that I've set gnus-newsgroup-variables, if I start
composing a message from the *Group* buffer ('m'), I _don't_ get the
message-default-headers that I normally do (namely, an FCC line).  Tried
adding it to the 'G p' parameter of the [Gnus] topic (top-level), but no
dice...

See the document of gnus-newsgroup-variables about the default values.
