I think this is orthogonal to -i.  That is, a user who wants your tool
to only edit the cover letter might want either to have it add the CCs
only to the mail header, or into the body as well.

Perhaps --transfer-only aka -T ?  Not sure I can think of a good name.

As an aside, I guess with `-i ccbody' your tool still puts the CCs in
the mail headers of the cover letter ?  Or will git-send-email do that ?

Ian.
