That is _not_ something for _you_ to unilaterally decide. I am responding to _you_ with this message to tell _you_ something, while keeping Sverre, J6t and Rene and the list in the loop. If I followedyour M-F-T on the message I am responding to, I would have ended up placing these "secondary" (for the purpose of my message) on my "To:" line. That would make it impossible for them to prioritize the messages addressed directly to them (which would have their address on "To:") over other messages that they are merely in the loop (which would not have them on "To:"---their address may be on "Cc:" or they may be getting the message from the list). So please don't. Thanks.
