Ad hominem alert! Instead of calling those who disagree with you
trivialists, why note explain your reasons for not wanting it in the
headers? You admit that you want him to know that it is a copy, you
have no control over whether he sees the mail copy before or after the
news copy, and the headers seem to be the obvious place to put the
indication.
Now, maybe there is no value to having an agent automatically flag
copies, but you haven't made any such case. So far I haven't seen any
valid arguments against having such a header, although there are
issues as to whether this is the appropriate forum.
