The automatic offering of the `Cc:' prompt is not particularly desirable
in public access accounts. In my case I want to funnel questions and
requests to one person using a form, eg:
<FORM METHOD="post" ENCTYPE="text/plain"
ACTION="mailto:lynx-admin",
TITLE="Press [RET] to send message, ^G to cancel.">
but Lynx offers a Cc: prompt automatically. This means that the person
using the form has to know to [enter an e-mail address and] hit return
to send a message. I cannot assume that the person using the form even
knows what `CC' means (My students certainly don't.). Therefore, I want
to make the process as simple as possible, and at the same time not add
an ounce more of strain to my overworked server. I have also been thinking
of how to block the `Subject:' prompt, but as you see above, I have found
a use for it.
