Without yourself adding to the recipient: only remote party's key
compromising will lead to message decryption. With yourself added: at
least two keys can be compromised for message decryption. Higher risks.
Question of trust. Some people are accurate in context of security and
key management, others are absent-minded and because of them, as one of
recipients, your messages under higher risk.
