I use this *very* frequently when I post to a moderated newsgroup, since
I'm not absolutely certain my ISP has things set up properly. I just
put the submission address in the Cc: field. One way or another, they
get my post. And, since this newsgroup is auto-moderated, (with a few
exceptions), and the software there automatically discards duplicates,
I'm not adding to anyone's workload.

In some cases, yes, it would be nice to have this automatically. I'd
prefer to keep it manual, though...precisely for cases such as the
above. Or, at least, make it configurable.

It would save me a bit of typing now and then. But, I'd like it to be a
configurable option.
