I read this as a pro for long cc: lists.

We neever before had any such problems. Currently  these  are  caused
because  some  messages have 5 (or more) samsung.com addresses listed
on Cc:; for example,  "[PATCH]  The  omap3  L2  cache  enable/disable
function to omap3 dependent code" has 6 such addresses on Cc:

I doubt that this is really  necessary.  In  this  specific  case,  a
company-internal   distribution   list   would   probably   be   more
appropriate.

Best regards,
