Someone posted this gem to the list some time ago for counting and
limiting the number of people in a CC.  

With a bit of editing, you should be able to combine my previous posting
to get a better result.  If yo don't mind missing multiple To:  lines.  :)

# Actually lets you accept cc's of a certian size.
:0
*^Cc:\/.*
{
PERM_COUNT=9

:0
* 1^1 MATCH ??,
* $ -$PERM_COUNT^0
/dev/null
}
