Forward emails BCC to many
somersetchris
forward something to many people I could highlight all the names I
wanted to in my address book and click on BCC.
Is there anyway I can I just click on forward, remove the old headers
by scrolling over them with my mouse and then deleting. Then highlight
all the people I want it sent to in my address book and click BCC.
In Thunderbird it seems that if I want to forward something to anyone
I have to type in their address and also change the "to" to BCC. Also
the message becomes a .EML attachment. I must be doing something
wrong, but I cannot see what.
Thanks

on one of them and selecting "Add to Bcc" in the context menu. I have
that functionality, but I'm not sure whether it comes from an add-on.

It will work from the Contacts Sidebar add-on,
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/70, and when you
compose a message, but I didn't see a way to do it in my set-up from the
Address Book itself.

to your address book and select the names you want. You can then
drag-and-drop them into that Bcc field. They will all line up with
comma parsing. To see if you have them all you can copy the entire
field into the body of the message and see the names present in the
field. Looking at the field here I cannot seem to scroll to the end of
the field and view names that are off screen. Unfortunately I do not
see a short cut, right click, etc. or keyboard combo that will put them
into the field.

As an alternative.
Make a list of the addresses you BCC to in the addressbook, then you can
simply send it to the list and change that to BCC

classes current & past, friends, relatives, etc. but the original
question was about just picking names from the address book and placing
them, as a group, into the Bcc field. The group lists work fine when
the list does not often change and perhaps the original post has a fluid
group that is being sent to. An additional advantage of the group
lists, though, is that changes made to members of the group also appear
in the address book that group is attached to making changes much easier
in very large address books.

Tools --> Options --> Composition --> [General tab] --> Forward messages:
Set it to "Inline". You'll then be able to edit it to remove the old
headers, because it won't be "packaged" as a .eml attachment.
Be advised, however, that TB has other issues when forwarding
inline messages that contain embedded images.

tips and advice here.
I have changed to forwarding messages as inline which has been great.
that way the I have been able to edit and remove the headers. There is
nothing worse than forwarding a message which has lots of previous
headers in it.
I have downloaded and added the contacts sidebar. I have created lists
which the name of appears in the list of contacts. By BCCing to that
list name I can send the list the message as it was sent to me.
The only problem I have now is when sending the list an email, I have
to include the person in the list who sent it to me in the first place
as I can find no way to remove just the one name from the list.

After you create your message, so a "send later". then go to your
Unsent mail box, find the message, do a right-click and "edit as new".
All your BCC names will be there and you can delete the one you want and
do send later. Then delete the first e-mail and send the updated one.

Thanks for your reply. But today I found a fantastic add on at
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/4935 It is called
"not to" and when installed it gives an arrow on the forward icon. By
clicking the arrow you get a "not to forward" option. That means it
will be sent to everyone on the list bar the person who sent it to me.
