Wait.  You joined this list to get relevant info on OS X.

Then you explain that you are a bit peeved that there's
been dozens of messages that appeared to be irrelevant to
OS X.

Then you ask for an answer to your question, which you now
admit amy not be relevant to OS X.

Huh?

1) go to this URL:

4) enter your email address and password, then click "Log In".

5) if all goes as well, you'll be sent to a special page where
you can change your list options, including carbon copies.
