Kmail andl bcc


I used Opera Mail for years before switching to KMail.

When sending a mailing list an e-mail via bcc in Opera Mail, it inserts each individual's name in the "To:" field so it looks like a personal e-mail not a mass mailing.

Does anyone know if it is it possible to set-up Kmail to do the same thing and how? None of the searchs I've ran came up with an answer.
Thanks.

I'm not sure, but isn't what you just described, the definition of bcc?

If you have more than one mail adress you can try adding both your mail adresses to bcc (use the dropdown box that says "To")
and see what happends.

Yes and no.

When using "bcc" in KMail each person who is added to the "bcc" field will see "undisclosed recipient" in the "To:" field when they receive the e-mail.

When using "bcc" in Opera Mail each person who is added to bcc field will see their own name in the "To:" field when they receive the e-mail, therefore, making it appear to each recipient that the e-mail was only sent to them and they were not part of a mass mailing.

I would like to be able to do the same thing in KMail, which otherwise, is the best e-mail client I've seen to date.
