Could you explain where you got this impression from? The E-Mail that
started this thread says "Editorial Errata Reported" in the Subject,
and editorial issues typically do not require broad discussion or ur-
gent action, and there does not seem much else to suggest it does. So
I would think this field already exists. As for copying people, well,
I would think most of the people in question are used to dealing with
high volume email traffic with mails varying greatly in importance. I
am not saying the user interface for this can't be improved, but I do
not see the problem you have with it.
