Subject: Is there a "Blind Courtesy Copy" feature?

I am a fairly new user of PINE.

Currently we are using PINE 3.96 on an IBM RS6000.

Is there a "Blind Courtesy Copy" feature available in PINE?

A "Bcc" allows you to send a Blind Courtesy Copy of the mail message.
Sending a Blind Courtesy Copy sends a Courtesy copy of a mail message 
to a user without that user knowing who else received a blind copy 
of the message.

Thanks,

Greetings -

> Currently we are using PINE 3.96 on an IBM RS6000.

After this came 4.00 etc.  The current version is 4.21 I believe ... you 
may like to ask the people who look after Pine at your site to consider 
upgrading.

> to a user without that user knowing who else received a blind copy

Yup... Pine only shows a minimal set of headers by default to save screen 
space.  You can see all of them by putting your cursor on any of the 
headers that you CAN see and giving the "Rich Headers" command (Ctrl/R). 
This will reveal all the headers.  A second Ctrl/R will revert to just the 
default set.

If you use "Bcc:" a lot you can add it to the default set in Pine's Setup 
Configuration screen ("S" then "C" at its Main Menu screen).  Look for the 
setting called "default-composer-hdrs".  (Be sure to read its 
context-sensitive help before making any changes!)

Cheers,

Mike B-)

I'm running pine-4.10.  I use the following in my .pinerc:

# Only show these headers (by default) when composing messages
# NOTE: pine will not accept values for any of these here
default-composer-hdrs=Subject,
        Date,
        To,
        From,
        Reply-To,
        Cc,
        Bcc

# Add these customized headers (and possible default values) when composing
# NOTE: pine will accept values for header items here
customized-hdrs=Reply-To: [email-masked]

Actually, sending a BCC sends a CC of the message to a user without adding
THAT USER to the headers.  They still see all the "normal" recipients, but
no one else sees them.  BCC yourself on a message you send to see what I
mean.
