The default/recommended setting is for it to be set to Poster; now the 
Reply-to line contains the original poster's email address, and the CC 
line is no longer present. This is consistent with my guess about that line.

I note that going to the extra effort in Thunderbird to "Reply All" no 
longer adds a CC line - it was replying to all the recipients of the 
original message, and I wonder if Messenger Pro will behave similarly?

If so, the option makes sense now - the inclusion of the CC in the 
headers (a side effect of the Reply-To setting, which as I said was to 
be helpful to software from the Dark Ages) was confusing the issue.
