Hi Albrecht:

Thanks for the link--it's always good to go to the authority!

I noticed that the RFC frowns on setting Bcc: from a mailto: URL, but  
Balsa allows that (also Cc:).  Why setting an address field like Bcc: is  
bad, but setting To: is OK, isn't clear to me--but should we disable  
Bcc:-handling?

Best,

Peter
