I reported the "bug" because we have one user who used the message in sent
mail to send to the same group of people by choosing Reply to All and then
editing the message. This worked in IMP 3.x so I reported the "bug".

This particular user was convinced to use a Turba Contact List instead and
nobody else has complained about the BCC issue.

As for the question if BCC addresses should be passed on to the Compose
window, either way works for me. :-) I don't expect it is a big issue in
our user base if the current behavior is not altered.
