Support for CC, BCC

[danshort]

I'd love to see support for CC and BCC. I'm just now picking up a little Ruby, so I'm going to try forking the project to see if it's something I could put together myself, but I figured I'd post it as an issue in case someone gets to it before I do :).

Awesome! MailCatcher primarily deals with SMTP, so we're not listing the "To" field, but rather the recipients which includes CC and BCC addresses. Perhaps the message view should actually display the "To" and "Cc" fields? You won't be able to display BCC because these aren't listed in the message itself and will only be present as recipients on the SMTP side of things. Or maybe you can extrapolate who's BCC'd by doing a set exclusion?

[sj26]

Closing this; To/Cc/Bcc is actually irrelevant, recipients ("To" in the web interface) is a list of all recipients targeted via SMTP.

@sj26 so the "To" field in the web interface is showing all recipients including those listed in CC and BCC correct?

[sj26]

It lists all recipients that the application is sending to via SMTP. Keep in mind the SMTP server doesn't know the difference—they are all just recipients. Perhaps I should rename the "To" field to "Recipients" and add a note or something.

Your application or the library you're using to send SMTP messages should be turning your "To", "Cc" and "Bcc" fields into a list of recipients that are all addressed via SMTP.

tl;dr: yes.

@sj26 awesome thanks! Just wanted to verify as I've been using MailCatcher on a project where we are making heavy use of BCC and other people use the app (including client, hence the verification). A change wouldn't hurt. The reason I bring it up is its easy to confuse "To" for the actual field whereas "Recipients" is clearer in this case.

Thanks for your work. Along with another developer where I work at we've enjoyed using the app for development rather than actually use a SMTP server (which originally we were).

+1 CC/BCC support would be great if it is ever implemented

[rhoboat]

+1 cc/bcc support

[sj26]

As above, cc and bcc fields are displayed when you view an email. This is already implemented.

[taiar]

@sj26 when you are sending a BCC e-mail, you must make sure that this address is not showed up. That said, differ the "recipients" to "bcc recipients" is a feature missing; not implemented.

Be great to have this support. You cannot debug a BCC issue as you cannot see them. Not even in the source.

[sj26]

BCC addresses should never appear in an email's message source, they are Blind Carbon Copy addresses so you don't want to reveal them in the message.

To, CC, and BCC addresses do currently appear in the "To" recipients list in the MailCatcher interface. Although MailCatcher doesn't look in your message to find these, this is the list of addresses that your SMTP client has asked the message be delivered to. The "To" list is exactly the email addresses that your message will be delivered to.
