- The content of a post is irrelevent when it comes to cc'ing the
- poster. CC'ing is done in ALL newsgroups, period.
-
- Some would say that they can't tell whether the e-mail is a true
- private e-mail or whether it is a cc to a post. I would suggest that,
- for those who take the time to carfully read what they get before they
- fly off the handle, it is easy to determine whether the e-mail is
- private or a cc.
-
- All you have to do is READ the first line of the body of the article
- in question.
-
- 1) If it says "YOU" wrote/said/whatever (second person), then it is
- most likely a private e-mail.
-
- 2) If it says "Dean Adams" wrote/said/whatever (third person), then
- it is a cc of a reply to post.
-
- It's very simple.
