This doesn't happen if smtp is the method of delivery. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution 1.2.2-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. send a mail with bcc 2. 3. Expected Results: BCC should not be revealed Additional info:
I have posted the exim configuration file as http://www-gene.cimr.cam.ac.uk/~geoff/configure It (exim) is just forwarding to a smarthost - that's all it does, but when you change evolution to use smtp direct to the smart host the BCC field behaves as expected. It's only using "sendmail" as the means of delivery on the local machine - which forwards to the smart host - that the BCC is visible to recipients.
Works just fine for me here with local sendmail, which is what we support. This is almost certainly exim's doing as evolution's pass off to sendmail is pretty dead simple.
