           Summary: Unwanted information disclosure: Bcc-addresses are
                    sometimes retained in sent mails
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.7
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kdebugs at CustomCDROM.de


Version:           4.7 (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

Apparently, kmail does not always filter out Bcc addresses from sent mails. I
just found out the hard way when sending christmas greetings to a bunch of
friends. :-/ Pretty embarassing. :-(



Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Send a mail containing receipients in the Bcc field.

Actual Results:  
Sometimes, the Bcc field is not cleaned / emptied and all receivers will get
hold of all target addresses... :-/

Expected Results:  
The Bcc field should by emptied or removed.


The following is an example message from me to myself, with all mail-addresses
only slightly altered for spam protection reasons:
