i often reply to my own mailing list posts. when i do so, mh
attempts to reply to me, cc'ing the original recipient (i.e.,
the list). but i think because i'm both the sender and the
recipient, the To: header ends up missing entirely. for example,
here's what the draft looks like if i start to reply to an old
message i sent to this list:
Subject: Re: [Nmh-workers] sync'ing an mh mailstore between two
machines?
cc: nmh-workers(_at_)nongnu(_dot_)org
In-reply-to:
<12129(_dot_)1211398023(_at_)foxharp(_dot_)boston(_dot_)ma(_dot_)us>
References:
<E1JyqcD-0007Y8-N7(_at_)mnementh(_dot_)archaic(_dot_)org(_dot_)uk>
<200805211914.m4LJExTY0>

needless to say, if i don't notice, and simply send the message,
it causes great confusion.
the command i use to reply to a list looks like this, after
expanding my wrapper scripts:
repl -cc to -cc cc -form form.repl.usual <msgnumber>
the contents of form.repl.usual look like this:
%(lit)%(formataddr %<{reply-to}%|%<{from}%|%{sender}%>%>)\
%<(nonnull)%(void(width))%(putaddr To: )\n%>\
%<{subject}Subject: Re: %{subject}\n%>\
%(lit)%(formataddr{to})%(formataddr{cc})%(formataddr(me))\
%<(nonnull)%(void(width))%(putaddr cc: )\n%>\
%;
%; Make References: and In-reply-to: fields for threading.
%; Use (void), (trim) and (putstr) to eat trailing whitespace.

i've just done a scan of the repl and mh-format man pages to see
what might cause, or fix, this, but i'm missing it if it's there.
any ideas?
I add -cc me when replying to my own messages and suppress
the second copy (see below) by using -query. Inconvenient
and of course doesn't solve the problem. But maybe it gives
a clue on how to fix it: -cc me (or -cc all) restores the
To: header. But that seems like an unintended side effect:
I don't see why -cc should affect To:.
And they also add my login name, even if my reply address is
in my Alternate-Mailboxes. I don't need two copies of the
message.
That's because I had %(formataddr(me)) in my reply form
(and so do you). Removing that got rid of the reply to my
login name.
So, adding -cc me (or -cc all) should get what you want.
at the expense of the extra cc to me, right? (unless i use -query)
Or, we could hack the code as shown below. That keeps
the To: header to self, unless "-nocc me" was specified.
It keeps the confusion between cc and To:, but at this
point I don't think that's worth fixing.
did you attach the right patch? i'm having trouble seeing
that this will result in any change in behavior.
