Oddly enough, I just did a little testing, and sometimes I get the behavior you want, but sometimes I get the other behavior. I suspect this may have something to do with handling alternates, but I would really need to trace through the code to see what's going on here. That said, I believe the intended behavior is to put only the "To" addresses in the To: field, and everything else in the Cc: field. The difference between To: and Cc: is basically that if the author puts you in the To: field, the author expects that you have some action to take (including replying), whereas Cc: is for keeping people in the loop who are not intended to take any action. http://lifehacker.com/5990422/know-the-difference-between-to-and-cc-in-an-email I believe Mutt tries to preserve the sense of this conveyed in the original e-mail you are replying to. And therefore, if you want to change it, you are going to have to make a conscious decision to do so; usually you're going to have to do that manually. I think this is the Right Thing™. -- Derek D.
