Compose mail also relies on whatever is assigned to mail-user-agent. Do this... (setq mail-user-agent 'sendmail-user-agent) And see if that works. It works for me, but if I have gnus-user-agent in there, it doesn't. > 'mail-self-blind' seems to do the job but setting this variable to > true doesn't work, no Bcc header is added, whereas doing: This should do the job, in theory, but it looks like it's up to the actual user agent to pay attention to it. > Could anybody know why the first solution doesn't work. My guess is that you're running Gnus (or at least, some other package that doesn't pay attention to mail-self-blind). Gnus has it's own way of doing this, which you can find discussed here: http://sunsite.ualberta.ca/Documentation/Gnu/emacs-20.7/html_chapter/gnus_5.html#SEC125 Alternatively, you could just use the sendmail-user-agent and have this stuff sent back to you. I chose this as the path of least resistance. At least for now. Hope this helps. Jeff
