I'd like to hear what RFC that suggests CCing the author of the email by 
default, please.

From what I understand the recommended default reply behavior is to reply 
to only the "Reply-To" or, if that header is absent, "From" 
header.  "Reply to all" to a feature that all MUAs should have, but it's 
used more often with large multiple TO+CC addresses rather than on lists.
