Yeah I brought up a previous thread re Fcc-ing to all recipients of a mail -another thing on my wishlist and very important in userland. I do not touch sendmail.cf and am in no mood to start really. Yeah the solution that is put together above works but its wasteful: You have to send the mail (with Bcc) and fire sendmail and procmail or whatever. When you (I anyway) edit the outgoing, you have two extra - annoying - headers to stare at. - much better to do all this type of functionality without firing anything but your current mutt instance which just has to write to your local folders. I really believe that this type of functionality could easily - I aint a C programmer :( - be implemented in mutt itself BTW, people can drop the 'c' in the ':0 c' above (I had it in there cause I was testing from myself to myself. > Maybe I should just be quiet now :-) Not at all. -- Eric
