For example, I run? a bunch of automatic system watchers (DCL procedures) that send E "courtesy" messages (you know, nag mail) to people who are chewing up E lots of scratch space or whatever. If I had a BCC capability, I could ? use one mailing to the list of offenders, and still accord some A privacy to the individual recipients. This means I'd want the BCC + capability available from the command line.   D Regarding interoperability with Exchange: I have a use for that, butA more generally I'd like BCC to work with more than just Exchange.   & paddy.o'brien@zzz.tg.nsw.gov.au wrote: >  > Guy, > N > As I live on VMS mail, I am only guessing vicariously.

 RFC 822 says:   <         Some  systems  may choose to include the text of theF         "Bcc" field only in the author(s)'s  copy,  while  others  mayF         also include it in the text sent to all those indicated in the         "Bcc" list.   F I'll suggest that a VMSMAIL implementation of BCC needs to be clear onC this distinction, whether it means, "We won't send the BCC field to < anyone" or "We'll send the BCC fields and leave it up to theE recipient's system to decide what to do with it." It seems to me like 3 the former is preferable, but the latter is common.    --
