It seems everyone is trying to figure out how best to outsmart the basic
flaw in the gmail web interface.
Allowing for auto self BCC (and often having it to be the default setting),
has been possible in just about any mail interface I have used so far
(unix, emacs, all the way to the iPhone mail app) but not in the gmail web
interface. Why not make this obvious shortcoming as visible to Google as
possible so that rather than just fiddling with gmail's cosmetics, they fix
something that is clearly broken ?
