No. I am saying (see below my experiment.)

I receive an email which goes like

From: Joe
To: John
Bcc: Uwe

Now I, Uwe hit, by mistake, followup, instead of reply, then they mail
looks at it should

From: Uwe
To: Joe
CC: John

Which is bad, because John did not know that mail was sent to me. I
should have used reply instead of followup, but since a lot of people
complained that I hit reply instead of followup, I know hit followup
automatically.

So my small function will save me such embarrassing situations in the
future.

Did I explain myself?

Below the experiments I did.



All can I say I sent an email to myself, with a bcc to another email

Here is what I received

The email in equation was sent to me from someone using apple mail
