Hmm...no I don't, just standard MBOX. I guess I should have explained my configuration more...

I'm using Balsa 1.1.4, using an IMAP inbox which lives on a Netscape Messaging Server (also the SMTP server). Can you explain what handles Bcc? Is it the client? Or the server? I assume that the client simply creates a seperate message when sending to the Bcc recipient.

Here's the header forwarded to me from the To: reciepient:

You see that BCC is in his headers (One thing of note, in Balsa, BCC seems to be generated as ALL CAPS, where most other clients I've seen use "Bcc". I suppose this would only matter if it were the mail SERVER that handled the propogation of BCC messages. Perhaps it's not recognizing the field?
