I think I recall this one being metioned recently, at least the From: part.
Don't know of any work on it though.

It's already there.  In the compose message window, go to the 'Show' menu,
and select Bcc.  Fill in the address in the Bcc box that appears.

Anyone care to tell me what Fcc is, by the way?

Sounds good, but once again, I'm not sure of any work being done in this
area.

In the main window go to the 'Settings' menu and select 'Preferences', go
to the 'Mail Options' tab, and it's there.

I think there was some work on making different POP boxes behave
differently a while ago, although once again I'm not sure what's going on
with that.

In the main window, go to the 'Settings' menu and select 'Preferences'.  Go
to the 'Display' tab.  At the right-middle if the page, there's a 'Display
progress dialog' option.  Select 'Never' and you should find it goes away!

I think this was mentioned a while ago, not sure if any work's being done
on it though.

Alan O was working on PGP (GPG), I think encryption and signing are done.
