FWIW, I cannot reproduce the behavior you reported: I took a real mail message, added to it several addresses of the form USER@DOMAIN, where USER was the same string in all of the addresses, and 'r' in Rmail produced a response message where all of those addresses were on the CC list, not one was omitted. So the problem, if it exists, is probably triggered by some other factor(s). If you can, please show a message replying to which reproduces this behavior. Preferably, report all the details to the Emacs bug tracker using "M-x report-emacs-bug RET". Thanks.
