6.8. Mail-Copies-To
The Mail-Copies-To-header indicates whether or not the poster wishes
to have followups to an article emailed in addition to being posted
to Netnews and, if so, establishes the address to which they should
be sent.
The content syntax makes use of syntax defined in [RFC 2822].
header =/ Mail-Copies-To-header
Mail-Copies-To-header
= "Mail-Copies-To" ":" SP Mail-Copies-To-content
Mail-Copies-To-content
= copy-addr / [CFWS] ( "nobody" / "poster" ) [CFWS]
copy-addr = address-list
The keyword "nobody" indicates that the poster does not wish copies
of any followup postings to be emailed. This indication is widely
seen as a very strong wish, and is to be taken as the default when
this header is absent.
The keyword "poster" indicates that the poster wishes a copy of any
followup postings to be emailed to him.
Otherwise, this header contains a copy-addr to which the poster
wishes a copy of any followup postings to be sent.
NOTE: Some existing practice uses the keyword "never" in place
of "nobody" and "always" in place of "poster". These usages are
deprecated, but followup agents MAY observe them. The actions
to be taken by by followup agent when following up to an article
containing a Mail-Copies-To header are set out in section 8.6.
Whether or not this header will also find similar usage for replies
to messages sent to mailing lists falls outside the scope of this
standard.
