Bcc field viewable in Mutt generated e-mails
Hi all, If I send an e-mail in mutt and bcc some recipients, I seem to be able to see the BCC headers in the received e-mails. Now to my mind, this defeats the object of Bcc. This e-mail was bcc'd to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Can anyone tell me how to disable this? Is this a mutt issue or an exim issue ?

I send a message from my work machine running mutt to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I also bcc that message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I then retrieve the message on my home machine using fetchmail, filter it with procmail and open it in mutt Viewing the headers, I can see Bcc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and this is on the mydomain.com address. I only noticed it because someone pointed out to me that my messages were coming complete with Bcc fields. I would guess that possibly the listmanager is removing the bcc field, so I have included you in this reply and bcc'd it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Regards, -- Wayne Pascoe Give me enough medals, and I'll win any war. - Napolean ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The relevant headers are: Not in these examples, maybe - however, I have tested my config (Mutt 1.4.1i, Exim 4.20.1, FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE), and see the same behaviour. A test message sent from my home account to my work account, and Bcc:'d to an alias on the home account, results in the Bcc: field appearing in the headers of the copy received at work. These are the From:, To: and Bcc: from the copy sent to the work address: From: Daniel Bye [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bcc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Bcc: also shows up (naturally enough) in the copy received by www@, but I, like the OP, am baffled as to why it is visible in the copy received at work. A search on Google turned up this http://tony.rocks.cc/muttrc - a forward search for bcc reveals: unset write_bcc # Exim does not removes Bcc headers So, adding this to mutt's config results in: From: Daniel Bye [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Dan Bye [EMAIL PROTECTED] and no Bcc: where it don't belong! I see you are using Exim, as well, Wayne - try `unset write_bcc' in your ~/.muttrc.

You're quite right. This e-mail was bcc'd to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No BCC: header made it this far, not surprisingly-- the FreeBSD MX's would trim it. Can anyone tell me how to disable this? Is this a mutt issue or an exim issue ? exim, I would think, although that might depend on whether mutt is calling exim via the command line, or sending mail via SMTP. -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
