Tell who I BCC'd via IMAP Thunderbird?

[Dan]

I use gmail with Thunderbird 2 via IMAP. When I bcc multiple
recipients, I can't tell who I sent to by checking the email copy in
the SENT MAIL folder. Am I missing something?

I'm not using that particular combination ... but in the past when I have
BCC'd someone, I had to click on Message Details (or Show Original or
whatever it's called in your program, that reveals the full headers or the
full raw email message) of my Sent message, in order to see that. It should
(well, it might) be somewhere in the headers of the sent message, but not in
any of the copies that they receive.

You can only see the BCC header if you save a copy of the sent message
in your email program. Gmail's saves a copy of the message as sent
through SMTP, which does not include the BCC header.

To save this information in Thunderbird, set it to save a copy of the
sent message in a local folder. (Thunderbird sends the message first,
so if you try to save a copy on the Gmail server, it gets discarded as
duplicate.)
