@code{Cc} header. A value of @code{nil} means exclude your name only.
+@vindex message-prune-recipient-rules
+@code{message-prune-recipient-rules} is used to prune the addresses
+used when doing a wide reply. It's meant to be used to remove
+duplicate addresses and the like. It's a list of lists, where the
+first element is a regexp to match the address to trigger the rule,
+and the second is a regexp that will be expanded based on the first,
+to match addresses to be pruned.
+
+It's complicated to explain, but it's easy to use.
+
+For instance, if you get an email from @samp{foo@@example.org}, but
+@samp{foo@@zot.example.org} is also in the @code{Cc} list, then your
+wide reply will go out to both these addresses, since they are unique.
+
+To avoid this, do something like the following:
+
+@lisp
+(setq message-prune-recipient-rules
+ '(("^\\([^@@]+\\)@@\\(.*\\)" "\\1@@.*[.]\\2")))
+@end lisp
+
+If, for instance, you want all wide replies that involve messages from
+@samp{cvs@@example.org} to go to that address, and nowhere else (i.e.,
+remove all other recipients if @samp{cvs@@example.org} is in the
+recipient list:
+
+@lisp
+(setq message-prune-recipient-rules
+ '(("cvs@@example.org" ".")))

@cindex gpg-agent
Message internally calls GnuPG (the @command{gpg} command) to perform
signed and encrypted messages to your fellow PGP 2.x users, you'll
discover that the receiver cannot understand what you send. One
solution is to use PGP 2.x instead (i.e., if you use @code{pgg}, set
-@code{pgg-default-scheme} to @code{pgp}). If you do want to use
-GnuPG, you can use a compatibility script called @code{gpg-2comp}
-available from
-@uref{http://muppet.faveve.uni-stuttgart.de/~gero/gpg-2comp/}. You

As a final workaround, you can make the sign and encryption work in
two steps; separately sign, then encrypt a message. If you would like
