           Summary: BCC fields should not be converted to To fields
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: thomas.friedrichsmeier ruhr-uni-bochum de


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Case 1: Compose a new message, add a receiver as "To:" add two more receivers as "BCC". Now remove the "To:"-address (using the arrow button). The first BCC address is now converted to a "To:"-address.

Case 2: Compose a new message, add two receivers as "BCC:", remove the first. The second is now converted to a "To:"-address.

For CC addresses it's nice to convert them to To, automatically, when the original To field is removed, but for BCC this really should not happen. When I enter an address as BCC, I simply don't want it to be visible to any other reciepients, for reasons of privacy, spam control, or others. Setting an address as a BCC - in contrast to just adding it as a CC - is a deliberate decision to hide that address. KMail should not try to undo that decision for me.

It's ok to warn me about a missing To field, it's not ok to convert a BCC to a CC or To, automatically.
