Nope, it doesn't.  Writing a message to All in WINServer is like write a
message to ALL in a FidoNET echo.  a cc is not sent out to all your users. 
Most BBS packages have this feature.  I left a message on the WINServer
listserver and what I found out is that I would need to buy the wcReports
package.  Santronics, or Mustang Software, made a choice at some point to
spread needed features over 2, 3 or 4 different programs so that a SysOP was
forced to buy 2, 3 or 4 different programs.  I have spent soooooo much money
over the years supporting Santronics.... I am just not going to spend an
other dime so that I can cc a message to all my users.

Anyway, Thanx
