Does anyone know of a way to get around the mh bug that lists the "Apparently-To:" line when blind-carbon copying more than one user on the same host? This is especially a problem with Xmh which does it's own thing when "showing" the message. This is especially annoying since the recipients know who you copied on the noteand we sometimes get a long list from 'To:' that clutters up the whole header. -- Gary Lieberman Shell Oil Company, Information Center (713) 795-2290 ..!{sun,psuvax,bcm,rice,}!shell!gary

If you are up to code hacking, the correct solution is for the outbound message from MH to contain the header: To: Blind copy recipients:; The 'To:' head has no real information, but its presence inhibits 'sendmail' from adding an 'Apparently-To:'. Of course anyone who wants to see the list of recipients can always look in your syslog files anyway. -- =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= Neil W.

Can you explain why this works? Doesn't it generate an error message,
or is something mysterious going on here? (Where are my RFC's... :-) )
