It seems that if you set a default Bcc in an identity's settings, the first header input

"To" in the dropdown menu next to the input field.

I think the first input field Balsa offers when composing a new message should 
always be a To field, except when responding to a given message (as the 
appropriate To will be set automatically then).

As this is an annoyance rather than a bug, I am bringing it up here instead of 
the bug tracker. Should I do otherwise?

Here is just fine--it's more likely to attract discussion than in a bug.

Your point is well taken.  The widget that presents the addresses was designed 
to offer a blank line of the same type as the last address that was added, 
which works OK when addresses are being added manually by the sender.  But when 
a compose window is being created, the widget doesn't know that the addresses 
come from another source, such as an identity or a draft message, in which case 
the design decision may be inappropriate.

The git tree (master and gtk3) has been patched to change this behavior, to 
avoid a blank Bcc: line.  I hope you find it more comfortable!

Peter
