Marion,
I find that unless you have a recipient that is not on the Unicode mailing
list it is best to clear all other recipients.
1) It save the person from receiving 2 messages that are duplicates.
2) More important, is that even if you list Unicode first, often the
recipient will receive the message first. I have seen this delay cause
messages to be out of sequence on mailing lists. If the routers take longer
to get to the list then the reply may arrive at the list processor before
the original message. This is confusing for readers.

Subject: Putting unicode@unicode.org first (in the To:field)
Might I make one suggestion, to make life easier for recipients of msgs?
(NB. Advice not for list owners, but for users.)
If you wish to make unicode@unicode.org one recipient among several, would
you mind making it the _first _ recipient? Not doing so had the effect of
force-filing the attached incoming msg from Juliusz Chroboczek under
'Dennis L. Goyette Sr.', instead of 'Unicode'!
Taking as an example that msg just come in from Juliusz (no reflection on
him, just using his mail as an example), please see its headers (below) and
note that unless unicode@unicode.org comes first in the To: field, not just
second, third, or relegated to a Cc: place, there's many a mail filter which
will probably not be able to use that information for filtering purposes.
Just a suggestion for users which I think would really help.
