Well, it is not really a VM thing, except to say that VM is still using mail-mode for sending mail, which is semi-obsolete. mail-mode puts FCC headers in the message composition buffer and leaves them there until the message gets sent. Perhaps moving to message-mode will cure the problem? Cheers, Uday
