I recently updated from TB 78 -> 91 (currently at 91.7). The transition was smooth, but I have a definite issue with TB 91. If its a tweaked feature, I hate it. Or, maybe its a bug.

Very often, I compose an email I want to send bcc to multiple recipients. I use bcc since I don't want any one of them to know who else is receiving the email. And, I'd like to store a copy of this email, so I send it To: myself. In other words, the To: field is my own email address, while the Bcc field is populated with the people I'm sending it to.

I used this with considerable frequency in TB 78. The copy I sent to my self would show my who I'd bcc'd it to. However, if I try this in TB 91, nada. The only way I seem to be able to generate a copy of the email where I can see the bcc recipients is to go into account settings, and flip the switch to turn on the option to put a copy of *every* email into (say) my inbox. But, I don't want this to be the default behaviour -- I don't want a copy of *every* email I send. But, I do want to be able to send myself a copy of an email with bcc recipients, and in said copy, I want to be able to see the bcc recipients!

In short, in TB 78, and email I sent to myself shows me the bcc recipients (I want this). In TB 91, I only see myself, and not the bcc recipients.

This is sufficiently annoying I might actually roll back to 78.

Am I missing something?

BCC is blind, so no recipient, you or anyone else will be shown who was BCC'ed will see the BCC recipients. I am not aware of any bugs around BCC being totally broken in the past decade, so I would have to guess you are mistaken in your assumption that you previously saw this on received mail, sent mail is another matter entirely.

Mail in the sent folder "should" show the BCC list, but that is not the case with some IMAP implementations. Google's being perhaps the best known, where even the sender of the mail is denied access to the BCC list once the Google IMAP server is done synchronizing the mail in the sent folder. It probably has something to do with the Google all mail folder which does not differentiate if mail is outgoing or incoming, it is just mail. but it is a feature of GMail and some other mail setups that can only be worked around. This can be ameliorated by having Thunderbird make copies of sent mail in the local folders sent mail folder as it is not associated with the IMAP policies of the provider, so BCC details remain visible Account setting > copies and folders to customize copies of mail
