This is not possible for the following reason:
- A single -C can be followed by multiple -S options (we test for this!)
- There can be multiple -C options
- With optparse we cannot know which -C belows to which -S options

Therefore I would prefer to make -C an illegal option. Better fail early
than make a mess of incoming emails.
