Subject: feature request: special header indicating whether "courtesy-copy" is desired
Date: 15 Jan 1996 04:25:27 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ycq3f9hu7w8.fsf@fierce-bad-rabbit.MIT.EDU> (raw)



How often have you seen things like: 
 ``Please CC: me since I don't read this group'' ?

Or followed up to an article in this mailing list, only to wonder if the
author read the list via mail or infrequently via the archives?

Shouldn't Gnus know whether to Cc: the author or not automatically?

Of course it wouldn't work for anyone else, but it would be harmless and if it
interfaced properly with the courtesy-copy header stuff then it might be
picked up by other newsreaders.  

I think the header should answer the question of whether or not to add the
From: address to the Cc: and To: addresses since without kind of widespread
support the references header has (?) anything more ambitios is likely to
fail.
