A lot of people are using CC or BCC, as described in the Fellowship
blog[1], due to censorship problems and culture wars.  For example, some
messages in this thread don't appear at all in the list archives[2].  Why?

Honestly I do not care what so ever. Nobody should bother people with their emails - especially since most of us take a lot of care to not miss very important work emails among the hundreds, if not even thousands of emails that we receive every day (I personally received 250 emails only today, and it's just the beginning of the NA timezone. By the time I wake up tomorrow it sure will be 400 or more.) Within this amount of emails even with complex filters in place, a responsible engineer will read through the subject lines of every email at least in the relevant mailing lists. Email like this one, with some sneaky bcc being added every 4th email so that the thread keeps reappearing even after it's dismissed, gets ignored by that complex system of filters, because the filter doesn't actually see why did I receive this email. As such it lands in my HIGH PRIORITY inbox. This freaks me out. Please stop.

If you have issues with sending emails to anything, contact administrators. This is not a solution. If anything you will get your own email flagged as spam by large number of people, which will lead exactly to what you're trying to prevent/circumvent, just worse.


If you see something like that, please share the full headers so we can
all see how the message reached you, otherwise it is ambiguous.

Regards,

Daniel
