536707 - All BCC causes To: in

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Thunderbird :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Leon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091201 Firefox/3.5.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: TB Ver 3.0

TO's  & BCCs appear as  "You" in fhe recipients  TO line if the outgoing email has one TO line..   But if there is no TO recipient in the outgoing email the recipients see "undisclosed resipients"

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
Would like to see recipients name in the recieved TO line. There is no need to notify everyone there are BCCs or "undisclosed recipients" in the message.  Prefer each to feel their message is unique and reduces the ability to "mine" email addresses when an emails are irresponsibly   FWD'd in their entirety.

I don't believe this is possible given the limitations of the SMTP protocol.

Yeah, I think that's useful information for the recipient - I'd rather err in the direction. And the smtp server should be stripping out the bcc header...
