That is no excuse. There are good, free mail clients available for any
platform you care to name, and there are better if one is willing to spend
something like $30 for it. And if you are stuck behind your IS
department's lame-assed mail gateway, bitch at them. It is their job to
provide the best service possible, and a broken gateway is not even
remotely "the best".

So, cc:Mail is broken. We know this. But is this sufficient reason to
punnish the rest of the world? I think not.
BS> Though this practice is legal per RFC1123 section 5.3.7,
Only to a certain degree. Stripping Sender headers is not acceptable, for
instance.
