In Oort Gnus, you can use the Gcc header instead of the Cc header to
get your local copy, and you can use the variable
gnus-gcc-mark-as-read to mark it as read automatically.

Not sure what to do about the `download' part, though -- messages are
normally not downloaded from the server unless you actually select
them for reading.  So maybe you're talking about the headers?  Or you
use the agent?  Or something else entirely is going on?
