Please make the default for the completely redundant

At least remember it from preview to post.

It actually remembered it from preview to post, but didn't remember it from
preview to preview if you were posting without a cookie.  It really wanted
badly to send a copy in that case (assuming that someone was posting from,
say, a library or cyber-cafe, etc.).

It's kinda hard to miss, though, now, right there next to the Post button,
and I agree it makes sense to be off by default.  And certainly it wasn't
correct behavior to re-check it again if you had already unchecked it.
