That's where I'm headed, now that its clear I haven't overlooked a mutt feature. > however, auto-CCs are quite silly as they usually add > an address which gets the way [...] > > then again, you did not describe the purpose of this idea > so i'm just wasting my time with guesses again. I suppose it is silly... I typically have a couple of projects going where I'm part of a small team here, working with another small team at another company. For each project, I have one engineer at the other company that is my principal contact; we have a list setup that includes all the members of both teams (and we usually have an internal list that includes just our company team members). The normal etiquette is to address messages directly to my contact, and copy the list. Most of us handle related messages the same way: we dump messages addressed to us into our inbox (which we'll check often) and messages to the list into a list box (which we check once or twice a day). I could accomplish the same thing by just addressing the list, but it interferes with the sorting the urgent (to me) messages from the informational (to someone else on the team) messages. Having my editor add the CC line is a reasonable solution. -- David Ellement
