I meant unconditional in the sense that all messages in the series will get exactly the same cc: list (instead of the cc-cmd inspecting each message and deciding whom to include conditionally). >> I would think that it would probably be the best way to address "I >> often want to cc these recipients, but not always" is to keep a list >> of aliases, each entry of which expands to the recipients, and say >> "--cc=group" from the command line to have it expanded to the set of >> recipients. I think one of the topics that was reviewed and queued during this cycle will help the above (it may not be in 'master' yet hence not in 2.5, but there always is the next release), where it made sure that alias expansion happens more consistently than before.
