I'm using Thunderbird V94 here and in Account Settings->Copies and Folders you can
specify a CC list of emails and a BCC list of emails to automatically add those lists of
email addresses to the relevant address lines when sending an email. It also says that if
they are populated then the corresponding line will not appear in the emails, which I
assume is when you are composing the emails. After writing this line I tried it out by
putting my email address in the CC and BCC lines, and despite what is written in the
preferences, these lines appeared in the email with my email address in them (as opposed
to them displaying as "tabs" when by default they are empty) and the email
address was tagged as not being in my address book. Also the replyto was still showing as
a ">>" "tab" as "other address fields to show" which
when the ">>" is clicked on adds Replyto to the display. With this setup
the "Send" button was still active and accessible.
Also in V94 the CC, BCC and Replyto lines are not automatically displayed, they are
presented as "tabs" next to the from address line and have to be clicked on to
add those lines to the mail for something to be entered.
For my inbox location I'm also not using the default profile location for the folder,
I have specified a folder on location on my Windows host which I have vmware auto mounting
on vm image start up. I did this for a reason, but I don't remember why.
Just one other question on this front, I'm seeing in all emails from this address
list, and only from this address list, a lot of data at the bottom of the emails that
looks like some sort of binary data, or maybe a digital signature or public encryption
key. Is address list encrypting emails, I've only noticed this since going to V94
which has support for end-to-end encryption of mails via Openpgp or S/Mime. The reason
I'm querying this is I originally replied to this mail, which had what looks like a
digital signature at the bottom of it, that was held for the mailing list moderator to
approve because it was bigger than 60k.
As far as I can tell, everything you've described about V94 is the same as V91 as
supplied in the repository.
V91 does have OPENpgp and S/MIme support.
FWIW, V94 isn't even "beta" it is a daily build. V93 being the current beta
available on Mozilla's site. So, hopefully,
you're backing up stuff just in case the daily build goes funky. :-)
