I notice the same query in one of your previous messages; thought
that by now you would have got a response.  It seems that is not
the case, so ...

  The guideline is to copy both the OP and the list as not everybody
  who posts a message is subscribed.

I personally would delete an address if the owner of that address
explicitly requests not to send him/her a copy.

Personal judgment about the recipient list & behaviour of mail
clients also affect the mail headers.  For an example of (modifying)
mail client (behaviour wrt mailing lists), see mutt manual and read
the sections containing "mail-followup" ...
