Thanks. Indeed, as I tried to say when I described (on Feb. 3) in more detail the problem that I was experiencing in my private tests, I was using the addresses myusername AT domain1, myusername AT domain2, etc., where myusername is not only the same in each case but it's my own username (all email addresses of mine), including on the machine that I was testing Rmail. But I see now that I then made a false generalization (especially in my summary on Feb. 6) that 'r' in Rmail would behave incorrectly when given _any_ addresses username AT domain1, username AT domain2, etc., where username is the same in each case, which is what Eli couldn't reproduce. (Admittedly, I didn't test this.) So, in sum, the observation is that if your email address is yourusername AT domain1 on the machine that you're using Rmail, then 'r' does not copy to "CC" or "To" other addresses yourusername AT domain2, yourusername AT domain3, etc., where yourusername is the same in each case. If this observation is correct, it seems to me that 'r' doesn't behave as expected. Thanks to Glenn and Eli for helping to clarify this. C.
