For e.g., you might have "B m"'ed a private message into a group with to-address set. If you then do a followup, the list address gets added to the headers, it's then easy to C-cC-c and embarass yourself. This is not unlike Pine's behaviour on seeing a Newsgroups: in mail. I wrote: > a) Add the original author to the CC list. So we have to-address in > the To header, and the original author in the CC header. > b) Add both to-address and original author to To: header. Well, I put in (b) finally. Joe Luser has a better chance of preventing blunders like the above when he's presented with multiple addresses in the To: header. -Sudish
