> Yes, the status quo is that on opening a compose window, the CC: field is open with my email address populated.  If I do not choose to CC: myself, then the field is by default not presented at all, and I have to click the option to open it. 

Understood. That's an extra targeted click every time which disrupts the high-efficiency keyboard workflow, where a simple `Enter` or 2x `Tab` could suffice.

> My current preference settings are to have BCC: enabled as I always include a copy to myself on all messages.  A CC: to myself so I can have the field presented, which I tab to and simply backspace my name out of and replace with whomever I want to include. I find this preferable to using the mouse as it is all keyboard strokes.  Simply faster by any measure even though it is more strokes but I type 75 WPM so it's just a preference.  

So to reiterate, here's an enterprise power user who even prefers to do *extra* keystrokes just to avoid the hassles of showing the field with a mouse click or counterintuitive backwards keyboard navigation to the button.

> If the settings could be set per user or per identity to allow the CC: window to be presented - and empty - as a default, then a simple tab through the fields would be very fast for any user who uses tabs.  A mouse user would be unaffected.  I think you'd find that the tab users are your more demanding "power users" who use keyboard shortcuts as I do, and generate more email.   Of course that is just anecdotal.

+1. I think that's *typical*.
