Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.17+20080114-1
Severity: normal

>From /etc/Muttrc:

# Uncomment if your MTA does not strip Bcc: headers.
# (exim4 and postfix strip them, exim(3) does not.)
#unset write_bcc

By default, I would expect that if I sent an e-mail and bcc'ed someone
in, then whoever I was sending the mail to wouldn't know. Given the
default MTA on debian is exim, sadly it seems that the default behaviour
is for this to happen though :(

This is in contrast with how other MUAs in debian handle BCC. It's a
rather surprising default.

I know the comment in the file says exim4 strips them. I'm assuming that
is a configuration setting, because my work's mailserver is not
stripping them and is exim4 (upgraded from exim3 some time ago as part
of an upgrade of debian).
