Well, it seems so ;-) Your message does include this header. More to the point, there is no consensus on polite behaviour: I, for one, find it polite when people *do* CC me on mailing list postings. I read my personal mail more frequently than the mailing list. So, the polite thing to do is honour the posters wishes. And the pragmatic thing to do is for the poster to express his wishes by filling in the header. I don't really thing the bandwidth makes much difference; the `net is slowed down by porn movies (and ripped divx normal movies) not a few bytes in an email... > > (this is an appropriate friday post, out of topic as it should) I try to keep all my posts to lyx-devel off-topic: otherwise I might get delusions of knowledge..
