yes. i mostly do cc only when strangers come to the list. atfer some activity i suppose he is subscribed and uses some tool to see new mails. i guess you use mail-archive.com which is good to archive purpose but afaik has at least two problems - 1) it gets actualized slowly - e.g. few times a day 2) it breaks threads in maillist when replaying, so in case of more complicated threads its sometimes tough to understand to which mail person replies. > Anyway, thanks for the checkinstall-hint.
