So what is your opinion on the patch? In my opinion it is a net win, because realistically we can not go around and slap them... can we? So this change might enable those who really have a problem with it, to filter for it. Anybody who cares on the sending side, can edit it out, or perhaps, when we make it optional, opt out of it. I personally would like such annotations on the sending side, because I don't wanna anger people, and would perhaps when in doubt, trim the cc list. But the annotation enables me to say: Hey, it was an automatic cc'list. So you could have filtered it out. Don't be angry with me! While on the receiving side, I might prioritize mails I get as an maintainer (not that I am a maintainer.. but..), while other mail goes to the read-on-a-rainy-day-mailbox. Cheers, Flo
