currently I have to 
open recipientspicker
select recepient 
press "add as CC"
open recipientspicker
select recepient 
press "add as BCC"

with  checkboxes:
open recipientspicker
click on the CC box 
click on the BCC box 
press "OK"

am I missing something?

that explains why I find it so hard to use.
from my point of view it was always:
Use Case "select one recipient"  -> autocompletion
Use Case "large number or recipients" -> recipientspicker

I think we need something for editing large number of recipients, doing it 
directly scrolling up/down the list is too cumbersome. Having mixed set of 
To/Cc/Bcc makes it even more complicated.
My suggestion addesses these issues.

If not in the recipientspicker, where can we place this functionality?
