If you are using VMS mail then use SET CC_PROMPT from the MAIL> prompt.

If you are not using VMS mail then ignore the rest of this message.

To get help using MAIL type HELP at the MAIL> prompt and drill down.

MAIL> HELP

drill-> down-> e.g.:

SET-SHOW

  CC_PROMPT

       Sets the default for determining whether the copy (CC:) prompt
       appears when sending a message.

       Formats

         SET CC_PROMPT

         SET NOCC_PROMPT

         SHOW CC_PROMPT

    Additional information available:

    Example

and the example shows:

       MAIL> SET CC_PROMPT
       MAIL> SEND
       To:      Smith
       CC:      Jones
       Subject:

>From the looks of you X-VMS header it looks like you can address the internet 
directly, in which case you could put macperl@macperl.org at the CC: prompt.
Alternatively VMS Mail can use PMDF wrappers in which case you need to 
spell that either IN%"macperl@macperl.org" or SMTP%"macperl@macperl.org"
or something similar.

In order to reply with a different subject then specify /SUBJECT as a 
qualifier on the REPLY command.  For example:

MAIL> reply/subject="VAXes are not silly"

Here again MAIL> HELP REPLY would be appropriate reading material.

Hope that helps :-)
