huh? where am i expecting the users to change? getting cc'd messages exported is an implementation issue of the exporter and has nothing to do with user behaviour.

In the statement Martin's commented:

as i said elsewhere, if they are not interresting then cc is not needed at all, if they are interresting enough to get cc'd then they should get exported too.

You said right there "if they are not interesting then cc is not needed at all". However "cc" in LysKOM is, as Martin pointed out, not used in the same way it's used in mail. It's not always used to add possibly interested recpients to a message but most often used to divert an off-topic discussion from one conference to another. Now, it is at times used to simply add a recipient that might possibly be interested as well.

The only REAL difference between a normal recipient and a CC recipient is that comments to a message only gets sent to forums which has an actual recipient. CC recipients are ignored in that case.

The common practice in LysKOM is to CC the message just when a thread changes conference. I don't think you'll succeed in making all LysKOM users change their behavior so that it suits you.

LysKOM does not map fully to emails. Accept that or upgrade to a LysKOM client.

i do accept that, there will be a gap, i am just trying to get this gap to become smaller.

(and to prevent whining about unavailability of LysKOM clients for your platform, I want to stress that your platform is part of your choice).

bah, the whole thing is about choice! most of all i choose not to use multiple programs to do the same job. for editing i only use vi, for programming only pike and to send and receive messages, only email.

greetings, martin.
