Agree, it is not an etiquette issue. My whole life experience is that the addressing and distribution of messages come from the days of TWXes (Telex), much before email was invented. You should use the To: field to include those the message is really address To, and from whom you may expect or request and action and/or reply. And those included in CC field (Carbon Copy in TWXes, that's where CC comes form) are just "For information". In the organisation for which I worked for 27 years (up to 1985), to further emphasise and clarify the difference, the operators in communications department, before distributing copies of received TWXes to the different addresses, had to staple a copy of the message on a *green* sheet op paper with an ACTION on top for those the message was address to, and on a *pink* sheet with FOR INFO on top, for those in CC field. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
