Re: [Nmh-workers] 1.3 release and Dcc/Bcc behaviour

Hi Paul,

1) Some people have commented on the comp.mail.mh newsgroup that Bcc
and Dcc headers should not be removed before Fcc is processed, so
that the Fcc copy contains them. Since the default components has
Fcc: +outbox in it I'm inclined to agree. Does anyone disagree?
Perhaps there should be an option to "send" for this so we can have
it both ways, but I honestly don't see what could be desirable about
the current behaviour.

isn't the risk that, if you forward someone a copy from your outbox,
that it will contain the bcc headers?

Agreed.

Besides, I've always found fcc useless.  It doesn't expand local user
names, e.g. `to: ralph' stays like that instead of becoming `to:
ralph@inputplus.co.uk', and there's no message-id which is vital for
referring someone back to an earlier email.  I dcc myself and file that
copy instead.  It too doesn't keep track of invisible recipients but
then that's good because of the forwarding danger Paul points out.  I
suppose some meta-data outside of the email file could keep track of
such things in son-of-MH.

Cheers,


Ralph.
