Hitting "reply to all" in Mail, my own adress gets included in the recipients …

I too had this same issue. It turns out that in my case it was related to receiving emails at an alias email address. I wrote up the solution here: http://guideguy.tumblr.com/post/40173926366/fixed-mac-mail-includes-me-whenever- i-reply-to-all

I'm curious to know whether this helps you.

Hello - I experienced this problem also - including the check-box for "cc myself" not working at all. I found that the following fixed this problem for me when running the latest version of Mail in Mountain Lion.

The fix requires an edit to the plist which is slightly different for Mountain Lion, therefore I would recommend only Mountain Lion users try this fix.

The problem for me was when using Exchange and an email alias for my account - basically, my mail routed through an external hosting service and uses user@address.com and user@address.local - I was getting the cc when the mail client was "seeing" user@address.local in the mail address line and "thinking" it was sending from user@address.com.

Go to Mail plist:

~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Accounts.plist

And edit the email address key...yours might look like this.

<key>EmailAddresses</key>

<array>

<string>user@address.com</string>

</array>

Edit plist to add the alias:

<key>EmailAddresses</key>

<array>

<string>user@emailaddress.com</string>

<string>user@emailaddress.local</string>

</array>

This has, so far, worked for me.

While the path mentioned by brainstamp helped with Exchange, I don't use that service and went looking for the 'real' Mail plist file. 😉

I found the pist file that stores your Cc:/Bcc: and your 'Reply to Self' settings at:

~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plis t

Here are the values stored for he three possible settings: ('CHECKED' refers to the box for "Automatically Cc: or Bcc: myself" setting in the Composing area (in the Composing tab of the Mail Prefs)('line #' is simply the line number in the XML {plist} file)

UN-CHECKED

line # - text

__57 <key>BccSelf</key>

__58 <false/>

_687 <key>ReplyToSelf</key>

_688 <false/>

CHECKED->Cc:

line # - text

__57 <key>BccSelf</key>

__58 <false/>

_687 <key>ReplyToSelf</key>

_688 <true/>

CHECKED->Bcc:

line # - text

__57 <key>BccSelf</key>

__58 <true/>

_687 <key>ReplyToSelf</key>

_688 <false/>

Obviously, the app is not recognizing the combination when two <false/> values are encontered as in the UN-CHECKED choce. Almost makes me wonder if there was supposed to also be a "CcSelf" key/value pair. It should not be required if the ReplyToSelf settings were simply honored. Actually, the ReplyToSelf setting is the same as having a CcSelf key. 😐

For me as well,

Best,

All, the problem I'm seeing is NOT on the Apple Mac but the iPhone. The problem still exists and it is NOT resolved.

Try it yourself. The issue revolves around Exchange account where you have at least one alias in addition to your primary e-mail address. For any e-mail that you receive that has multiple recipients click "Reply to All". You'll see all of the recipients plus yourself as a receipient. That should not happen. You should not be on the recipient list. What's happening is the iPhone mail system is interpreting your e-mail address as a foreign one and adding it to the list. Perhaps this only happens when an e-mail comes to your alias address? I'm not 100% sure I'd have to check into it further but it happens all of the time for me so maybe it's for either of my e-mail addresses. Can Apple PLEASE fix this?!?!? I'm tired of constantly removing myself from the list any time I hit "Reply to All" so I don't get basically CC'd on my own e-mail!

If you don't use an Exchange server—I don't and this was still happening—I'm pretty sure this happens as a result of not having the correct email in "Email Address" field for the given account.

If it is wrong or different than the email to which your mail gets sent, the program assumes you want to include the address in reply all because it does not recognize the address as your own. Consequently, it includes your email address.

Brilliant.
Works also in Mavericks with Xcode plist editor. Thank you!
