[email protected] This is not directed at any one individual; also, other mailing lists have the same problem imho.
Ideally, (my ideal), the generic "one" would simply address e-mails to [email protected] as (a) To: [email protected] nothing more, nothing less. Such an addressing scheme makes it easy to filter and order [email protected] e-mails. Instead, there's substantial variation, examples: (b) To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] (c) To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] (d) To: Cc: [email protected] (e) To: [email protected], [email protected] (f) To: [email protected], [email protected] (b) and (f) are not such a problem for filtering and/or ordering because they are similar to (a). (c), (d), and (e) do not filter/order well. (d) is the worst form imho because e-mails without a To: component are the most likely to end up in one's spam folder; in some cases, depending on one's isp, such e-mails might not even be delivered to one's client pc, i.e., they might be rejected at some mail server's gateway. FWIW, e-mail does not really have a To:, Cc:, or Bcc: field; all three are embellishments added by the e-mail client software. Behind the scenes, To:, Cc:, and Bcc: are ALL simply RCPT-TO. Please, and thank you.
