NOOOOO!  You're ruining my filter!  The _only_ reliable way to filter
the FreeBSD lists is on the Sender: line; I've seen things sent to the
lists by Bcc: several times.

Personally, I like to get a copy of the direct replies to my mails -
couldn't we just have majordomo rewrite the Cc: line to only contain
the mailing list if the mailing list was there, and reproduce the
original Cc: as X-Cc: ?

This will break anybody asking to be 'kept Cc:'ed', but nothing else,
as far as I can tell.

Eivind.
