In order to avoid having followups on this list sent to addresses that
were originally CC-ed, I suggest that any future CC-ed mail include a
Reply-To: header, as in the following example:
To: libertarians@mit.edu
CC: libernet@dartmouth.edu
Subject: Clinton is evil
Reply-To: libertarians@mit.edu
<blah blah blah....>
I think the vast majority of mailers, when responding to such a
message, will only send mail to the address(es) listed in the
Reply-To: field.
True, this wouldn't be necessary if people (myself included) took the
time to check all of the headers before responding to a message, but
given that this is the real world and people do not always take time,
I think its a reasonable precaution.
