Re: [Nmh-workers] 1.3 release and Dcc/Bcc behaviour

[Jerry Peek]

I didn't read the comp.mail.mh article, so maybe I'm repeating what was 
said there.  But whenever I use dcc:, I always end up saving those lines 
to a temporary file (or copying them with my mouse), then editing my 
copy to add that field to it -- so I can find out, later, who I sent the 
message to.  So, for me, having a choice (if not by default) to include 
the contents of dcc: and bcc: would be a win.

As for forwarding those fields accidentally: If you use non-MIME 
forwarding, you can set up a forw -filter file that doesn't include dcc: 
or bcc:... and I'd think that would prevent the problem.  For forwarding 
as an attachment, after you've typed "mime" at the "What now? " prompt, 
you can type "edit" and remove header fields that you don't want to 
send.  I usually do that to remove fields like "Received:" (and, often, 
"Message-ID:" too).

It does sound like some people don't want this behavior, though.  Adding 
an option to "send" like -showblind, or something, might be a good 
compromise.
