Subject: About to-addresses and followup [poll]
Date: 13 Nov 1995 17:51:40 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <umtn3a086wz.fsf@bank.cis.ohio-state.edu> (raw)
Quick poll, which of these two do you prefer?
Background: If you have to-address set in a mail group, and you do a
followup, the original author isn't CC'ed a copy. Instead, the
to-address replaces the authors name. Note that the people who were
CC'ed still get a copy, only the original author doesn't.
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.
I have a patch to fix this, it does (a) above. But it struck me that
given the original meaning of To: and what other mailers do on a
followup, it makes more sense to do (b). This might be a cosmetic
issue, but it would irk those who do differentiate on whether they
were to'ed or cc'ed a given message.
Opinions?
