[Please followup to -project; I am subscribed there, too, so you should *not* Cc me.]

I understand that different mail systems do different things (although I hope you're not using qmail[0]). However, the code of conduct seems to point out that one should not Cc someone unless they specifically ask for it (a guideline that you neglected to follow, after I pointed this out to Mr. Bushnell). But since some new or one-time posters may not realize this (and want to be Cc'd anyway), this provides a heuristic to guess if someone is actually subscribed, nothing more. If you are unsure, you could simply not Cc someone unless they ask. [0] qmail has a nasty habit of sending backscatter, which, AIUI, cannot be turned off.
