Saw that, it's not *quite* the same thing...I wanted a "CC" header, not
a "BCC" header.

Hmmm.  I wonder what'd happen if I made the FCC copy go my Inbox folder,
and whether that would work correctly w.r.t. threading...???...

Yes, in that case, but if you try to reply to *this* email (which is
addressed directly to you), CC to me and gnome@, you'll see that
Thunderbird *won't* put your address in either the To: or CC: fields.

I admit to being excessively picky in this area.  But before coming to
the IMAP world, I lived in the world of MH and exmh.  exmh has to be
*the* most customizable MUA I've ever used, enough to make me stick with
it for over ten years, and I'm used to having things done *my* *way*,
*damnit*.  :-)

Thanks,

Bruce.
