| Well they'll both show both the Cc and To headers, but it -does- generate
| two individually routed copies.
| 
| I like mutt in this regard, as say...when Ken replies, if it's to me I see
| a T on both, meaning it's to me as well as some(one|place) else, and by the
| line lengths in the index I can just pick one of the two copies to delete
| and read the other.  The line counts will really never differ by more than
| a few lines, and it's quite easy to match up the relative sizes even if
| there are four or five such pairings in a single sitting, which is rare.
| 
| I know JPR has a Message-ID tracker he hooked into deliver, and I know how
| to do it, but have never felt sufficiently annoyed enough to take the 15min
| to bother writing and debugging it.  My mail configuration is complex
| enough as it is -anyway-.  I need to add another phase to it like a hole in
| the head.  I'd -prefer- the hole in the head--it might do something about
| these sinus problems.  :) ^ 32

Anything coming in from any of the mailing lists I track gets its
Reply-To Header fixed (or created) to point to that list before it hits
the mailbox.
