Then please explain to me the subtlety that lead you to send the

am responding to To: me with Cc: the list.
I was responding to a message from you, and the principal purpose of my
sending the message was to provide information to you.
Well that was not the way I saw it. I was under the impression that we
were both partaking in a discussion on this list with a view to finding
the best tools to be provided, either by standardized headers or best
practice for features in MTAs, to resolve what most here seem to agree is
a problem in need of resolution.
In that situation, I would expect most contributions to the discussion to
be directed To: the list with Cc: the original author in those cases where
that author needed a personal copy.
The basic problem is that most MUAs do not make that happy outcome
particularly easy to achieve.
