If I send mail to charley(_at_)ilv(_dot_)com and cc: to 
oldjim(_at_)ilv(_dot_)com, I get two

at crjones.  I can follow why that happens.  The first recipe gets caught and
nothing else processes.

If I change the first three  rules to :o c
I get two copies of the mail at each mailbox (crjones & oldjim) because the
mailer processes two distinct mail messages (am I correct?)  and since I'm
using the c command, I always get a default copy at crjones.

Yep, you're right about the cause-effect.

Envelope-To: is what you need, and I never did find an answer as to what
needs to change in the sendmail.cf (or whatever) to add this.  Once you have
an envelope field added, you can then nix using the TO:, and instead use the
envelope address, which identifies who the message was ACTUALLY mailed to
(including when something arrives with a TO: address like a listserv
remailed message).

Perhaps someone here might have this information to share.  The (small) ISP
I use doesn't have the time to look for the answer (as I'm "the only person"
to ask for it there), and I don't have an understanding of sendmail or the
mail server configuration stuff in general.
