| Comments? Votes? Yes, dcc has been around long enough that it isn't about to vanish next week... (and 2822 managed to avoid stealing that field name for some other purpose, which was really the big risk - now I think we're pretty safe to assume there won't be another update for a long time). And yes, Dcc and dcc had better be treated the same, all field names are supposed to be case independent (and I have no doubts that nmh (and MH before it) does this correctly). But I would include a sentence or two about the risks of using dcc when really sending a bcc (as opposed to a cc to myself). Perhaps something like Note that the users listed in the dcc field receive no explicit indication that others who received the message are not aware that a copy was sent to them. This can cause blind recipients to inadvertently reply to all of the sighted recipients of the original message, revealing that they received a blind copy. On the other hand, a normal reply to a message sent via a bcc field will generate a reply only to the sender of the original message, it takes extra effort in most mailers to reply to the included message, and so would usually only be done deliberately, rather than by accident. Or perhaps an abbreviated version of that... kre
