This is possible with ‘Posting Styles’. Something like this,

             (message-to-A-p        ;; A function predicate 
              (CC "B <b@cc.org>"))

Most MUA’s seem to honour MFT headers. You could try setting it with
‘message-goto-mail-followup-to’ C-c C-f C-m. If it works then set that
as well in the above posting-style.

If the person replying is using Reply-All action then it should not drop
the CC’ed address. If it is then I doubt that it will honours MFT. But
you may give it a try.
