I agree. The ceph-user list is so busy that one cannot manually check all the time if someone replied. I would like messages with me in cc to come to inbox as well as via the list.
I believe I'm already hit by this problem. I don't think people on my threads receive the cc and they also don't check manually, so I got a bit stuck with problems due to this change. To reduce unwanted traffic, other lists have a feature that only the first mail of a thread reaches everyone. Further messages are only sent out if one explicitly subscribes to a thread. Everything is available on-line, but I get only first and important e-mails to my inbox. Messages added on-line of sent by e-mail are always sent to everyone subscribed to a thread. Does ceph.io offer a similar feature?

This looks like a feature of mailman that has bitten others before: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-06/msg02639.html > > mailman has an (extremely annoying, in my opinion) habit of munging cc: > > lines to drop the name of any recipient who has set their list delivery > > options to avoid duplicate messages where the recipient is in cc. > > Ultimately, the end user still gets the messages (reply-to-all gets the > > message back to the list, even though it drops the cc), but at the > > expense of not directly going to the inbox as desired.

It confuses everyone and it's not clear if it is actually doing any good to anyone. gmail and other similar systems already deduplicate without munging the headers for everyone and folks who are filtering locally probably already have a generic rule for discarding duplicates. IMO the mailing list software should never touch To or Cc. Thoughts?
