If a person on the list sends mail to the list with a CC, Dada strips it out. All of the major discussion list platforms leave this information in the email.

Mailman does.
LISTSERV also strips them out (which I do find VERY annoying too.)
Which others keep it in? It might make sense to look at any available sources to see how they do it.
 

 

Example:

 

I send an email to our sports team list about the team photography and CC the photographer (who is not on the list). I should be able to have the list members hit "Reply All" so that their email goes to the team and the photographer, but Dada is stripping out any email address in the CC line. I can't think of any reason that it would need to do this, so could that functionality be put back in?

I am not sure how other lists do it, but here is why I think Dada does not: (It is easiest to describe by example.)
You have a list with 500 subscribers and each message that goes out is personalized.
Because Dada submits the mail to a local (i.e. list-owner operated) mail server, the mail server will deliver each of the 500 personalized messages to the person on the CC line.

 

It would make the software more in line with the typical behavior of other discussion lists. (We've had several issues where people didn't get needed info because the person sending the original email didn't realize that the CC address would be stripped out.)

 

Warm regards,
