I guess I'm dense...  What does the 'bcc' have to do with 'From'?

And, even if it is stripped at this point, this does not keep PMMail
from saving the #2 [see previous post] message in the SENT file with
the 'bcc' intact.  I guess I keep belaboring this point because I see
the tag and its list of IDs in every message I send with a 'bcc' list. 
And, it appears that other who are using the Win version are also
seeing the tag.

Maybe someone who thinks the tag is NOT there should go into the raw
SENT directory/folder and edit the message with a plain old text editor
and see if the tag is there.  I know it is in mine.  I see it.
