I think so too.  I added the to-list after the to-address, and forgot
to take the latter out.

I think I tried it with t anf nil, to no effect.

The problem in this case is that Mail-Followup-To is not being set the
the list software, just on an ad-hoc basis by a couple of users.

Having updated Gnus from CVS just now, I note that it's asking me
whether to obey Mail-Followup-To after I type `f'.  If I say y, it
uses the poster's Mail-Followup-To, and I get no Cc.  If I say n, I
get the posters own address in To: and Cc: is set to their value of
Mail-Followup-To.  In neither case is the old behaviour present.  If I
set message-use-followup-to to `nil'.  I get the latter behaviour.

I would really like things to work as they did previously; typing `f'
with message-use-followup-to set to `nil' or a response of `n' to the
query results in the To: field being set to the value of to-list.

        Paul.
