Advice for MH users

[Connectionists-Request@cs.cmu.edu]

Users of the MH mail system can avoid the annoying and costly (for
others) mistake of sending carbon copies of messages to a mailing list
by making the following changes to their $HOME/.mh_profile file:

Create or modify the Alternate-Mailboxes line such that it names each of
the redistribution lists you subscribe to, for example:

	Alternate-Mailboxes: mesard,bargain,connectionists

Create or modify the repl line to contain the option "-nocc me".  Note
that this tells the repl(1) command not to send carbon copies to you or
any of the addresses listed as your alternate mailboxes.  If you really
do want copies of your messages use the -fcc switch.  So the line might
look something like this:

	repl: -nocc me -fcc +outbox
