MFT and Gcc

MFT and Gcc

[Kai Großjohann]

WIBNI the MFT generation code could be extended to delete the Gcc
header, if the message goes to self anyway?

I find that I set the gcc-self parameter such that I will get a Gcc
header if I do R in a group.  But usually, I want to delete that Gcc
header when I do F in the same group, since then I'll get a copy of
the message anyway, and having two copies makes no sense.

But what if I Gcc a different group?

Right.  Then the header should not be deleted.

But remember that I wanted a user option, turned off by default.  So
you don't need to be afraid that Gnus will begin to eat your Gcc
headers behind your back!

I think some list software tries to optimize so it doesn't send copies
of a message back to the sender.

So it should be yet another option...

Yes.  TEI mailinglists are driven by such software:

The feature is configurable by mailinglist members.

Yes.  Please, _don't_ change the default.
