I noticed it some time ago & Michael agreed it should be changed, but
that was "some time ago" like I said.

Running into problems again today, I dug a bit deeper.  What needs to
happen but isn't is as follows:

Currently when a message is saved to the outbox with a $bcc$ field
value, when it comes time to MODIFY [i.e. RESEND] the message, the $Bcc
field is not filled in.  It's not because the form doesn't have a space
for that field [because I made my forms *with* that space].  The problem
lies in the query string being incomplete:

<!-- Query string: -->
<!-- fn=t:\arachne\mail\93060728.cnm&to=from&cccheck=on&cc=on&quote=on -->

NOTE: string broken so it appears on screen, and end/start comment 
tags added so it doesn't screw up anything hopefully.

If you look at that query, it is missing "bcccheck=on"
I assume [dangerous, I know] that IF bcccheck=on and IF $bcc has a
value, then "bcc=on" should also appear.

It was disconcerting enough to discover I wasn't seeing ccs in some
forms [arghhhhhhh!!  I hate it when that happens!  Makes me feel like
I'm using dozerware!], but that I could fix because the query string is
complete for CC.

But I cannot "fix" the BCC portion for any e-mails being resent, because
the query string is beyond my control.

Would this fix be fairly easy to do??  I hope so.  Many times when a
complex message is being sent, I save it to outbox to go back and double
check things, or get addtional data I need.  If it were my intent to not
only send to addressee, but also sneak in a bcc, I'd lose the bcc
e-dress the minute I started to modify the original message, and I might
not remember to put it in "by hand"

If you get a modified version out, I'll gladly run it through the mill
using my modified GUIs with the field for bcc already in place.
