After thinking about this some more, how about:

  If the article does not contain a Mail-Copies-To header, it SHOULD be
  treated as if it contained "Mail-Copies-To: never" unless the poster
  indicated a different preference via some other means (such as a request
  in the body of the message for an e-mailed copy).

It's obviously not something that hte followup agent itself can implement
fully since it can't read the body of the message, but I think this should
encourage the implementation we want to encourage.
