I avoid this problem by not causing it. Generally, it works quite well if you _only_ send a discourtesy copy if the originator asked for one, or if other circumstances demand it. This ends up bothering a lot less people. When someone begins a thread in news, they usually expect followups to be in news. Courtesy copies are unneeded expect when explicitly desired by the originator. -Justin
