The choice is there, just not in Address Book. Do you see that
little box to the left of "Account"? It's a popup list that
includes bcc as well as Reply-to. Or, you can type Command-Option-
B to toggle the bcc field. Then start typing names and they will
be completed, or drag to the desired field.
How would you like to see it work?
I don't think this is what is being discussed.
Getting the field to show up is easy as you say. But filling
that field from address book as one fills other fields from address
book does not seem to work. For the "To" and "CC" field one can
simply click on a listing in address book. For "BCC" one must drag
and drop. The original poster says this is a recent change. Seems
a puzzlement that such a difference would occur.
Thanks, Peter. I must have missed that first post. However, two
things still puzzle me:
1. I don't see how an address is added to an email by clicking on it
in Address Book. I started with this message, clicking in the To
field. Then, in Address Book, clicking on an address does nothing
except open that contact in the right-hand pane in Address Book.
Double clicking opens a separate window for that contact in Address
Book. Is this a matter of settings or preferences? I'm using Mail
2.0.2 and Address Book 4.0.2. So, since it has never worked for me
that way for any Mail field, I apparently misunderstood the question.
2. Why use the Address Book in the first place? If you know the name
of a person you want to send an email to, just start typing. If that
person has more than one email address, a list will pop down; same
thing for different recipients whose names begin with the same
characters.
The only time I use the Address Book is when I can't recall enough of
the contact info to start typing it, or when I don't recall the name
of a group I've created.
