Dear Derek

This is from the rfc index as updated today, HTH, HAND.

Personally, I happen to agree with Exim's current handling. The way that
SMTP is defined, the envelope and the headers are completely separate,
they only bear relation to each other by convention. If your MUA can't
construct the headers and envelope for transmission appropriately, and
I encourage you to look at the way that it passes mail to the MTA for
onward transmission, that would seem to be your MUA's problem. My copy
of mutt seems to cope perfectly well with using Bcc in its own construction
of the envelope, and then deleting it, and I would suggest that this is
the correct behaviour.

This is also probably the wrong list to be discussing this on.

Cheers

MBM
