Dear Scott Wood,
In message 4A242071.1010806@freescale.com you wrote:
there is an increasing number of postings with loooooong lists of recipients (10 addresses and more); usually several of these are regular and active users of this mailing list so this is actually redundant;
It is not redundant -- including a person in the CC list brings the mail to their attention faster (and with less chances of missing it) than if they have to pick it out of the list.
An email message is a message is a message, isn't it? The message on the list and the Cc: are identical, aren't they?
What is the difference whether you receive one or two identical copies of a message?
How about reconfiguring the list software instead?
I see no reason for that yet.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
