BCC in Thunderbird

Does anyone know if there's a way to add addresses directly as BCC's in
Thunderbird? There's an "Add to To:" button, and an "Add to CC:"
button, but I don't see a way to move someone from my address book
directly into a bcc slot.

 

When you are composing a message in the TO field, see the little
downward pointing symbol? Thats the cue thats there is a sub menu
there, hold your mouse over it and you will see the sub menu that offers
you TO, CC, or BCC

If you set to one or the other, all additions made aftersuch are in the
same mode.

 

If you are adding multiples, right click on your selected list and you
will find BCC.

Thanks--I discovered the right-click trick myself this morning and it
works just fine!

Maybe you could explain this some more.

I think the OP is asking if the address book is like OE. In the Send To
fields, you can click on the BCC button and it will open up the OE
Address Book; any entries you click on will be placed in the BCC field.

I just installed TB .8, and opened up the Address Book and can't find
any way to do this, either. I tried selecting several names and
right-clicking, but I only see Write, and nothing about BCC. I also
tried it from the Address Sidebar with the same results. I tried
selecting all addresses in the message, but it only selects the
particular line that you're on.

 

I meant from the Contacts Sidebar, not from the adress book which I do
not think is possible? I personaly just use the Contact sidebar open.

Okay, my sidebar is open and I selected 2 names and I still don't see
any BCC option. Is it just me? Did I not install an option?

 

If you right-click on a name in your contacts sidebar, one of the
options is bcc. Works just fine.

 

Okay, I've got TB .8. I open the sidebar, highlight a few names, right
click on them, and the context menu gives me Properties, Write, New
Card, Delete.

Same thing on the full address book gives me Properties, Write, IM,
Delete.

The Write option will open a new email message with the names in
seperate email boxes. Naturally I can change them all (one at a time)
to BCC...

Does it matter how the address book is set up? I'm sharing it with OE.

 

I imported my address book from OE, so I assume it's separate. When I
hit the "Write" icon and open up a window for a new message, I've got my
contacts sidebar open on the left side. When I right-click on a name, I
get a box with the options: Delete, Properties, Add to To Field, Add to
CC Field, Add to BCC Field. I'm also using Thunderbird .8, btw.

 

<slaps head>

Doh!

I didn't realize that the mail message itself (i.e., the compose window)
*also* had the option to see the mail sidebar. Okay, cool. I wissh all
my problems could be resolved so easily <g>

Thanks again.

 

I just found this one today, it may interest this thread.
