To cc as well, to the same recipient, is not only pointless, it can be invasive.
Not long ago someone cc'd me on an off-topic thread, and in that situation it's not only understandable, it's constructive. I should have accepted the invitation to take the conversation off-list where it would have been less distracting. I know Colin Watson would have appreciated it. I can think of no other situation where it is warranted. If this situation is not brought about by incorrect heading, then one has to wonder why some people feel a requirement to do it? Is there a reason? Are there any advocates of this behaviour pattern that would care to enlighten us? Regards, David. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
