I agree. I often get mails from the mailinglist in my inbox. People
that automatically cc me above the mailing list cause spam in my box: I
do not need the message and I do not appreciate it.

As a workaround: some people send in to a mailinglist without a
subscription. Usually these people have themselves in the "to" as well
as the mailing list.
So, if you would do a "reply all" you would only send to people's
personal mailbox when they addressed them selves as well. And people
like me, just subscribed, would not get double messages.

In other words use I would appreciate it if you would not automatically
address my personal mailbox as for me that would be spam. I am very
glad Claws does not support that.

Guus Bonnema.
