Hmm... I've been sending To: freeciv-dev and CC'ing no-one unless they 
specifically ask, but I'm noticing that other people seem to send To: the 
person they're replying to (and sometimes the next person before that, 
etc.) and CC: the list (which is what my client defaults to, although it's 
got a rather nice dialog for choosing the recipients before composing the 
message).  Am I doing the Right Thing here?  I didn't want people to get 
redundant copies of list messages.
