Hm... there is the difference between reply, wide reply, and followup,
right?  An explicit MFT clearly tells the recipients what the sender
has in mind... - this reduces the assumptions on part of the other
party (human/mail client).  Most people, I would guess, would err on
the side of caution and copy the author as well; but it does not hurt
to be a little precise, now does it? :)
