Let me first tell you that a _separate_ and unannounced mail copy of
something _also_ sent to a mailing list is considered quite rude since
it more often than not forces the recipient to answer the same mail

I'll not repeat the points I made in private communication, but for the
sake of other readers, I'll answer your probably worst misconception
here as well because it is actually wide-spread.
