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.

Todd, Please make the default for the completely redundant "email my post to me" AKA "please spam myself unnecessarally" or "Damn, I forgot to uncheck that stupid box again" to unchecked. At least remember it from preview to post. (26 years ago, 25-Aug-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
