There is no really convenient way to do it yet but it would be a bit less
painful to enter something (anything at all) in the address field, press
enter and then change the recipient type to "BCC". Then all the subsequent
ones you add will be "BCC" by default as well.

Yes, it looks like a good idea. I wonder if it's going to be clear that
you have to press <Enter> to be able to enter more than one recipient (or
several recipients of different kinds).

Yes.

I'm also thinking we should have an explanatory message box when the user
opens the composer for the first time. Do you think it'd help or will
people just close it without reading?

"Submit"? Or maybe "More recipients" or "Add recipient"?
In any case, it could replace the "Expand" button as it duplicates what
can already be done with "Tab" key. Or, another idea, maybe we could have
small buttons with icons "x" for "Delete" and "???" for "Expand" - then
they would take less space.
Any further ideas are welcome, I'd really like to make the composer as
comfortable to use as possible.
Thanks!
