I understand why it is removed from the recipient list - that's the whole point - but does anyone know/remember why it is also removed from the Cc: header? This seems unnecessary and inconsistent since it isn't removed from To:, Resent-To: or Resent-Cc:.
I looked at the subversion (from cvs) log messages and found from Barry:
process(): If a member has enabled their DontReceiveDuplicates option, we'll also strip their addresses from CC headers in the list copy. This helps keep the CC lines from growing astronomically.
I guess that answers the 'why'. Should we try to address the inconsistency?
We can, although I think in practice it doesn't come up often. I have seen long CC headers but usually the Resents, and even the To header don't get insanely long. But consistency would be good here I think!
