First, what is MUA? (Sorry, but I'm quite new in using mailing lists.)
Second, the reason I'm bothering you all with this is to avoid sending big
attachments back to the user and save him the trouble of seing mail again,
as you said. But I have no trouble sending him the indication of reposting.

Now, since I'm a newbee, can you please explain this to me in more simpla
way.
This is What I understood:
asumming user is "user1" and list is "123"
To: 123;
Cc:user1;

I am using Thunderbird (or OE sometimes) as a mail client to post to the
list.

I don't understand this part of your answer:
