"Reply All" now fails to include "Bcc" emails

Upgraded Thunderbird and now when I "Reply All" to an email with To, Cc and Bcc recipients, the Bcc emails are excluded from the "Reply All".

Previously this worked fine, and allowed me to easily send out weekly emails to the same group of people.

Has something changed in Thurderbird? Is there an option I can alter?

Thanks

Thunderbird versions: Prev: 3.0.8 (i think?) New: 31.2.0

Are you using an old email you 'Sent' which included bcc email addresses? Select the email and click on 'Reply all' button. Then deleting the old content and replacing with new content?

I've tested this on an old sent email which had bcc email addresses and this is still working for me.

Try this: right click on email and select 'Edit as new message', does this include the bcc email addresses?

Other option you may not have considered: Usually when you send one email to a group, that group has been created as a Mailing List - a sub group of contacts in your address book. So you click on Write, select the mailing list and click on 'Addto Bcc' button. At least you are not relying on an old sent email. The previous content does not need to be removed.

> Are you using an old email you 'Sent'...

Yes - exactly as you describe, but the Bcc then fail to appear.


But your "Edit as new msg" suggestion works though. So this solved my problem - thanks.


Would be good to hear from Mozilla that the "Reply All" function was changed to remove "Bcc" though.
