What makes you think > otherwise? I send a message from my work machine running mutt to me@mydomain.com I also bcc that message to me@workdomain.com I then retrieve the message on my home machine using fetchmail, filter it with procmail and open it in mutt Viewing the headers, I can see Bcc: me@workdomain.com and this is on the mydomain.com address. I only noticed it because someone pointed out to me that my messages were coming complete with Bcc fields. I would guess that possibly the listmanager is removing the bcc field, so I have included you in this reply and bcc'd it to freebsd@penguinpowered.org.uk Regards, -- Wayne Pascoe Give me enough medals, and I'll win any war. - Napolean
