Description David Le Sage 2010-10-19 03:45:56 UTC

Description of problem:
If the user chooses to forward an email that he or she had previously sent to a list of BCC recipients, that list of recipients is displayed by default.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Evolution 2.32.0-2.fc14 64 bit

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an email and send it to a BCC recipient.
2. Go to "Sent" box.  Select the same email that you just sent and click on "Forward." 
 
Actual results:
The "header" information from the previously sent message in the body text of the new message will include the BCC field and the name of the recipient.
  

Expected results:
BCC field and list of recipients should be omitted from body of forwarded email.

Additional info:
I do not if there is an option for this. When researching the bug, I tried Edit->Preferences->Mail Preferences->Headers.  "Unticking" BCC there made no difference.  

I would suggest that, if there is an option, displaying the BCC field in forwarded messages should be turned off by default to protect privacy.

Thanks for a bug report. I found an upstream bug [1] discussing the same, thus I'm moving it there. Please see [1] for any further updates.
