Re: [Evolution] Bcc recipients revealed in forwarded mail

["Patrick O'Callaghan" <poc usb ve>]

I'm not sure if this actually counts as forwarding in the strict sense,
since it's not a message you *received* but one you *sent*. Had it been
a received message there would of course be no Bcc: header, so no
problem, but in fact what you're doing is attaching a copy of your own
message to another one. IMHO Evo should not silently edit the contents
of what you are sending.

Maybe the problem is that Evo lets you use the Forward button in this
case, rather than making you use Resend or drag-and-drop, which would be
more obviously distinct from forwarding.
