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. -- greg
