There are some mailers that included the sender in the Cc: address. The
reason is that the destination address is not you, but linux-kernel so the
mailer thinks that you got a Cc'ed copy.
Another reason is that I noticed that I get the Cc'ed copy much faster
then the one sent to linux-kernel, apparently there is a delay (sometimes
several hours) for messages to get thru linux-kernel.
