Just because some bloke on the Internet shares your taste it doesn't
mean he shares mine.

True. The only problem is - this very e-mail I'm replying to does not
contain Mail-Followup-To nor Followup-To :) Without a doubt it must be
related to your mutt or postfix configuration somehow.

This is not a problem: *I* don't mind receiving CC. This header is a hint
by the sender (in the context of a mailing list) to where (s)he expects
the answers to go to. With a sensible mail reader, the responder just
has to choose "respond to list" and all is well.

So *you* may cc me or not, as stated in my headers (no ...followup-to).

Yes.  That is not the problem.  The problem is responders who *deliberately* 
don't respond to list.

You claim to know how to set one's email client to stop people responding 
personally.   My email in response to your last doesn't seem to have got 
through to the list; perhaps because of the screenshot.  So here it is 
without.

Taking that as personally aimed, nothing would give me greater pleasure.  I am 
simply not technically competent enough.  I refer above to  "my inability to 
configure KMail correctly".

I have a blank page in which to  " define custom mime header fields", and an 
opportunity to use a custom message-id suffix. (See attachment.)

What do I put, where, to achieve stopping these wretched cc's from landing in 
my private mail??

I'd also like the copy to the list to land in my list folder, not be 
discarded.

You can't stop those. (OK, the best you can do is "social engineering", aka
persuasion :)

What you can do is, if you care, to set

  Mail-Followup-To: debian-user@lists.debian.org

This should convince most polite MUAs to do the right thing when the user
"replies to list". A more drastic measure would be to set

  Reply-To: debian-user@lists.debian.org

That won't kill all cc's: if someone does a "group reply" and/or if the
MUA is nasty enough...

The ultimate feature is just a duplicate filter (a couple of lines of
procmail). You'll have to configure the "mail sorter" (you're probably
using KMail) accoringly, because probably the "copy for you" will
arrive earlier.

See this thread in... debian-user[1], of all things (from 2003) where
our ancestors hashed this out already (with some recipes). Just ask if
you decide to use procmail (I am, alas, a KMail analphabet myself).

Isn't this the essence of the problem? The couple of lines of procmail
will put the first mail ("copy for you") in the inbox. The actual list
mail will probably be disposed of.

There is nothing there which I can see ensures the list mail ends up in
the list folder,

It is perfectly reasonable that people should be asked to do one of three

Don't take me wrong. I think its reasonable. But I think also we should try
to be gentle about it (and try to "fix" as much as possible on our sides).

That's all.

So you're saying that someone who is following the code should go out
of their way to accomodate the ones who won't follow the code?

A little way, not too far.

It's not really a matter of getting one more unsolicited email in
this day and age, the point of this kind of list is to stand as an
archive, so that the various answers to the questions, and just as
importantly, the wanderings down the byways, remain to help others in
the future.

Quite.  And that will only work if people reply to list and do not break the 
threads.

Of course Chris will do what he wants, and not what you want.  Why should he 
do anything else?  

But you are *still* not following the code.  You have addressed that to Chris 
with a cc to the list.  You seem to think that you should dictate how the 
list behaves and that the CoC is an aberration that OUGHT to be ignored. 

As I said to you, "you are sending them (these double copies)
deliberately, and being a nuisance deliberately.  Another word  for that is 
trolling."

No you didn't.  You said that I should be polite and "express this wish with 
the headers in use for this purpose", but you have no idea how this can be 
done.  See above.

You have to refine your filters a bit, but it's definitely possible.

I know it is, but not with a simple three or four line procmail recipe
alone.

Even if "most" is possible it is not good enough.

A thread of more recent vintage is at

  https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2013/03/msg00012.html

There is a technique (and an implementation of it) described which
ensures list mails get to a list folder and CCs are deleted. See what
you think.

Yes, I'm aware of all that. And I never said the CoC is wrong or should
be changed. I'm just advocating for dealing with those who fail this
CoC (especially this little technical item) more gracefully. That's all.

Hallelujah!  Thank you, tomas.  That went to the list only, with nary a sign 
of a copy to Brian.

Well, that's embarrasing. Turns out I had a mistake in my setup.

I owe you a $BEVERAGE of your choice (whithin reasonable bounds ;-) -- so
if you run into me in one of the usual conferences, go ahead!

Believe me or not -- it was never my intention to troll. Hanlon's razor[1]
applies.

Thank you!  I accept.  Fortunately for you, and sadly for me, I'm not allowed 
by my doctors to drink Chateau d'Yquem, so I shall have to toast you in fizzy 
mineral water.

I do believe you!  Though how on earth you managed to sit through what we were 
saying, and especially what I was saying off list, without checking your 
headers or settings, does somewhat bemuse me. :-/  

The trouble is, I know what I mean to type, so that is what I see.  Presumably 
you knew what your settings were supposed to be, so that is what you saw.

The older I get, the truer I see that that is.

I apologise for misspelling your name.  That is something I try to be 
meticulous about, but I had never till now noticed the accent.  Though I had 
noticed that you do not use an initial capital.
