    Bullshit, Greg.  RFC2369, 1998, List-Post, quite a few clients already
support it and the one that doesn't that I know of (Thunderbird) it has been
bugged so many times that it isn't funny.


    Furthermore while you are technically correct about Mail-Copies-To it is
already accepted by over a dozen clients, bugs filed against others and in the
discussions about Mail-Copies-To in an list context it is always as a way for
the author to request copies and that proper behavior is to NOT send copies by
default.


    As I said, stop living in the '80s.

    Really.  So tell me, why do you ignore your own advice?  Learn to live
with the standards, Greg, and stop living in the past.
