I use this quite a bit but have complained about the fact that the pathnames
are left in the outgoing mail msg. If the recipient of such a msg replies
using mail's *reply* command, they also try to mail to a file of the
same pathname (unless they explicitly remove it from the Cc: line).
Do people think these pathnames should be stripped out of outgoing msgs
or left in?
p.s. I know I could use Bcc but I don't.
