This patch provides a versatile low-cost solution to this popular feature request.
3 duplicates and several user voices from our UX forums have requested the same, epecially for enterprise contexts. UX-efficiency matters!

Richard, could you check if this works as designed? (see "How it works" below).

Essentially, this patch simply allows using the *existing auto-Cc/Bcc feature pref* (mail.identity.id#.doCc/.doBcc) from account settings *without specifying auto-recipients* (my comment 5; see screenshot attachment 9130451 [details] from comment 14).

**How it works:**
- `≡ > Account settings > Your account > Copies and folders > [x] Cc these email addresses: [___________]`
- tick the checkbox but leave the input blank, which will just show the empty address row when you start a composition with that identity, or change identity in the compose window.
- Bcc by analogy.
- Changing from an identity with Auto-Cc checked, but empty, to another one with Auto-Cc *un*checked should remove CC field if empty.

> To recap, let's try to put hats of a generic user - a couple of private accounts, a couple of business/official accounts. The user should be able to adjust each one of the accounts for their needs. A default configuration can be super trendy, but let more advanced/demanding clients ~to~ reconfigure.
