Package: nmh
Version: 1.7.1-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

when drafting a message with comp(1) and including something like the
following in the headers:
| To: f...@example.com
| Bcc: b...@example.com

I get the following error:
| What now? send
| sendmail: No recipients specified although -t option used
| exit 1

Both recipients get messages with different Message-Ids, but the
content seems to be exactly the same. I believe this is in conflict
with the man page of send(1), which states that Bcc-recipients will
receive a message with a clear indication in the body, warning them
not to disclose their status as recipients by replying.

See the discussion von Bcc: vs. Dcc: fields in the man page of send(1)
for details.

I believe the body of bcc messages used to start with:
| ------- Blind-Carbon-Copy
|
| From: har...@ccbib.org
| To: f...@example.com
| Bcc: b...@example.com
| Subject: ...
| [more headers]
|
| [original body]

Best regards and thanks for maintaining nmh.

Harald
