I disagree. If you only want to CC to one person it's very clumsy.

I see outlook express has a CC: field there always. BCC: shows up if you 
select "All Headers" in view. Does not seem any way to add the replyto 
or newsgroup, which is probably not a great loss.

How does that help?

True.

Yeah - it's probably not worth it. Just a thought.
