50103 - Show bcc

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 74433

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Description

[Ben Bucksch (:BenB)]

Split-off from bug 36441.

Currently, we don't show the bcc header, even if present in the msg. 4.x did.

Only msgs copied to the Sent folder while sending will still contain the bcc
header, but that's still nearly half of all msgs :). IMO, it is a basic
requirement of a mail view to show all reciepients (if possible).

I can fix that, I just need to be allowed to do so.

mass-accept to stop annoying bugzilla spam.

I agree, (as I said in the original bug) it should definitely be shown.  On a 

slightly related note, it should also (IMO) show the Posted-and-Mailed header if 

it is present (used by some newsreaders to indicate that a message was both 

posted and mailed).

Err, don't know what happened there, sorry.

mscott,
I would like to fix this bug now. I don't see the performace argument as valid,
because
- we have a hidden pref to show the User-Agent header, and Netscape obviously
ships with that code enabled.
- if our architecture is too slow to show BCC (IMO a basic requirement for a
mail viewer), then this is a problem with the architecture, which should be fixed.
So, can I fix this bug (and will you accept the patch, assuming it is good)?
