In your opinion, but not in everybody's opinion. I've run across
mailreading software that won't let you put more than one name in the To:
line before...I've also run across one mailreader that lacks a Cc:
ability.
Either way though, getting an email by Cc is not necessarily a
sign that it's unimportant that you reply; Just the opposite in fact,
since if you didn't need to see it, you wouldn't have. Assuming that you
don't need to reply because you're not the direct recipient is just
that... Ass U Me.
