Ah, Señor Jackson, I trust you recognize my handle?


Yes, of course.

You're guessing wrong. It's being *explicitly* turned into a mime
attachment (more accurately, a multipart digest which the mail client
interprets as an attachment).

Why would you assume anything different from my post?

My wrong assumption was that the proc was a server proc, not the
client. Now I've looked at the code, I see that it is the client side,
but the effect is the same: broken code. My response to you was 'no
good reason' (I assumed you knew this as well, and were just
checking). The rest of the response was an explanation of how I think
client/server should work for anyone who wonders why I say 'no good
reason'.

There is a bug here. If it gets raised as a bug - or someone provides
a patch then it will get fixed.

SMTP has no BCC support explicitly. The package should send the same
body to each recipient in the BCC list as for the TO list. The only
difference should be that for the BCC list we reset the SMTP session
and issue a new MAIL TO so that noone else sees the list of BCC'd
recipients.
