Re: [Evolution] Bcc exposes recipients

["Arthur S. Alexion" <arthur alexion com>]

This is a bug with monstrous practical consequences.  That should never
be allowed to happen -- warning or not.

I know that Pegasus (Windows) actually generates two messages one for
the visible To's and cc's, and another separate one for the bcc's.  I
thought all mailers did this, and if servers otherwise betray
confidences, all mailers should.

This could be a reason to stop using Evolution for sensitive mail.
