I think we all saw a good explanation for that already in the thread.

The mistake by "--cc" was fixed relatively quickly, but it is now way too late to change the behaviour of "-m" without hurting existing users. I think I've wasted enough time on this in this thread already, so let's stop comparing --cc and -m now.
