AFAIK: It is not possible to preset a Cc: header, but you
can preset the To: header with Reply-To: which can hold
/multiple/ mail addresses, e. g. the message's author and B.

(Of course, with regard to your original problem, there is
also the human factor: If I get a message that the author
Cced to B, I don't necessarily assume that my answer should
be Cced to B as well; perhaps the author only wanted B to
see the author's message.  Therefore it might be useful to
spell out in each message who should be kept in the loop and
why (or use a ticketing system :-)).)
