It does not show that they are "cc:" and not "to:".

Also (at least in messages in my outbox) it lists "bcc:" addresses
as if they were "to:", too.

I could see logic for the to: column to say "[EMAIL PROTECTED]
(cc:[EMAIL PROTECTED], bcc:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"(only including
the "bcc:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" if that was your address or if you
are looking at your outbox)...

Certainly, I was not aware of it.

Generally, I suspect screens are too narrow. In my folder for this
list, due to long threads I see only the "subject" column. (In
others I see more.)

Certainly I would not expect the contents of the "CC:" header to
influence the results when filtering on "To:".

But then, should 'Alt+click' filtering on the "To:" column for a
message that is to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" also find a message that is
additionally addressed to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"? I think it should.

I definitely agree it should find a message that had addresses in
the "cc:" field.
