248174 - Each Address Book List should have a Properties option to default to BCC, etc.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 163498

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Address Book & Contacts, enhancement)

Description

[Dick Miller]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616

  I've done it again!  I accidentally sent a private e-mail list to all as To:,
because I got tired and Mozilla (1.7 release version, and all preceding)
defaulted it to To: instead of BCC:.  Moz still lacks any default BCC setting
for sensitive lists.  This pothole should be patched, as it is a very expensive
mistake in many circumstances.
  Evolution does this right.  Is its open-source code sufficiently compatible to
help?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Be sleepy.
2. Send a sensitive e-mail list in Mozilla's default To: mode.
3. Read it and weep.
4. Wish that Moz could default such lists to BCC:!




See Evolution, Outlook, etc. for good examples of easy reassignment of the
default from To: for each e-mail list (perhaps cards, as well).

This is a fatal shortfall for many serious users.  Hopefully, it is not hard to fix.
