Hi All,

Two queries:

First:
======
I have configured the ask for CC and I want to CC to
myself. I am using sendmail for sending mail. However
I am not receiving mail copy to myself. I tried bcc, and
specifying my mail id in to field as well.

Is it sup or sendmail which is removing the self id?
any ideas?

Second:
=======
Can I configure sup to always include self mail id in CC
when composing new mail or replying to any other mail.


Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Manish

It's probably your sendmail setup. Sup is just passing that stuff
through unchanged. You can try enabling logging on sendmail's end
somehow...

I believe the before-edit hook can be used for this. Place something
like the following in ~/.sup/hooks/before-edit.rb:

  header["Cc"] = my at email.address

(untested!)

I don't know if this is related, but I have noticed that sup is a little
bit too smart for itself.  I sometimes also CC myself.  Though these
messages appear in my procmail.log, sup seems to recognize that they are
a duplicate of a message already in the index, and silently hides them.

So: check your procmail (or whatever) log to really see whether you are
getting a copy.

Oh yeah. Sup collapses dupes. That would do it.

That's another interesting lesson I've learned about email in the
process of writing Sup. Two messages with the same message id are more
likely than not to NOT be exactly the same message. For example, any
time you get a message both cc'ed and through a mailing list, they'll
have the same message id, but the mailing list one will probably have
extra content (ML signatures and taglines) and different headers.

Do you get a conclusion, concerning email-tools design?
