OK, then I guess I misunderstood you. I did run a test (and I have
already told you some of its results - that BCC is in the header of the
message saved in 'sent'). In 2.2.9 there is absolutely no indication
that a BCC is a BCC (though it's easy to tell by the fact that the
recipient is neither the addressee nor the copy-receiver) and to be
honest I have never seen anything like that (unless you mean, for
example, mailing list's code in square brackets prefixed to the
subject). Why is it important to tell the receiver they got a BCC anyway
(I'm asking out of the curiosity)? Or why is it important to
distinguish CC from BCC in such cases (as it's obvious that when the
receiver doesn't see their address in 'To:', then it's either CC or
BCC)?
