gnupg-users@gnupg.org
This is not directed at any one individual;
also, other mailing lists have the same problem imho.
Ideally, (my ideal), the generic "one" would simply address e-mails to
gnupg-users@gnupg.org as
(a) To: gnupg-users@gnupg.org
nothing more, nothing less.
Such an addressing scheme makes it easy to filter and order
gnupg-users@gnupg.org e-mails.
Instead, there's substantial variation, examples:
(b) To: gnupg-users@gnupg.org
Cc: x...@y.tld
(c) To: x...@y.tld
Cc: gnupg-users@gnupg.org
(d) To:
Cc: gnupg-users@gnupg.org
(e) To: x...@y.tld, gnupg-users@gnupg.org
(f) To: gnupg-users@gnupg.org, x...@y.tld
(b) and (f) are not such a problem for filtering and/or ordering
because they are similar to (a).
(c), (d), and (e) do not filter/order well.
(d) is the worst form imho because e-mails without a To: component
are the most likely to end up in one's spam folder; in some cases,
depending on one's isp, such e-mails might not even be delivered
to one's client pc, i.e., they might be rejected at some mail
server's gateway.
FWIW, e-mail does not really have a To:, Cc:, or Bcc: field;
all three are embellishments added by the e-mail client software.
Behind the scenes, To:, Cc:, and Bcc: are ALL simply RCPT-TO.
Please, and thank you.
Regards,
Gerry
