MOZILLA Thunderbird: Reclaim BCC list from Reply All?

Post by ChrisGreaves »

I issued an email yesterday with a BCC list - invitations to a meeting.
The meeting being rescheduled I opened the "sent" message and tried "Reply All", thinking that the address list would appear, but no; it is a BCC list and appears to be shielded from view.

I can save the message, open it in Notepad and reclaim the messages by hand, but was wondering if I have overlooked some subtle Thunderbird trick,

I'd be more inclined to try a 'Resend' than a 'Reply' with a sent message...

I know this is NOT a Outlook question, but the same trick may work with TB.

I am using Outlook 2007, but I think the same was in 2003, when ever I Open a sent email from the Sent folder, the BCC names/addresses are shown.
I have been able to forward this same email and/or edited one to the same BCC list, but I had to Copy and paste them from the opened email into the forwarded email.

Dave, Chris is using Thunderbird, not Outlook. (This thread is in the Other E-mail Clients forum)
Best wishes,
Hans

Try selecting the message in your Sent folder or wherever you've filed it and then click Message, Edit Message As New.

tHANKS LEIF.
I couldn't find "Resend", but your suggestion sent me back to take a closer look at the menu system, and "Edit message As new" does the trick!
