Hi,

Lately I've decided that the Mozilla (and Netscape 4.x) method of 
entering additional addresses in email is quite painful.

This is quite tedious.

For example, to add a CC: I have to click in the box under the first To: 
(and not any of the other boxes!! grr) to activate the box, then click 
again to drop down a list of types of header, find CC:, click on it, 
then click to the other field to enter the address. 

To do it with the keyboard is similarly tricky.

This is just very fiddly for doing something so basic. Anyone else 
agree? 

A suggested alternative is:

You get one To: field, one CC: and one BCC:

At the end of each field, is a little [ + ] button which adds an 
additional field of this type, under the current one. 

In addition, typing a comma adds a new field of the same type.

You can add as many fields you like of each type, leaving them blank if 
you like, and Moz should ignore the blank ones when sending. 

Once additional fields added, perhaps a [ - ] button would delete them.

The main disadvantage is that this means tabbing thru three fields to 
get to the subject. 

This would not take any more space than now since Moz leaves 3 blank 
rows already (which you can't click in until selecting a field type!!!).

Also, giving the field types more descriptive names might be helpful, 
like "Copy To" "Blind Copy To" "Reply Address"
