The only situation where I have ever used MPro's ctrl-Reply option is 
where I know the list moderator* sends stuff only once a day or at 
even longer intervals but the OP needs a reply quickly.
   (* not this list, of course!)

Maybe it'd be better if the email client sent the copy as BCC rather 
than CC, but that's outside Vince's ctrl.  It might in fact be an 
advantage in that the individual's address would not be broadcast with 
potential for spambots to see it.
