1892.0. "DISCLOSE RECIPIENTS?" by GLDOA::HOLBEL () Thu Dec 03 1992 15:32

    Is there a method that ALLIN1 can set the "DISCLOSE RECIPIENTS"
    bit in X.400?  I know that ALLIN1 is not X.400 compliant but
    the customer has other user agents which have the capability
    of choosing to disclose recipients or not.  Currently we have
    MRX setting the bit regardless because if we do not then 
    nonALLIN1 recipients cannot respond to ALL recipients of an
    ALLIN1 message.  For example, cc:Mail recipients will only
    see other cc:Mail recipients and NOT ALLIN1 recipients of
    a message if the bit is cleared.  Thus, the cc:Mail recipients
    cannot respond to all recipients of the message.
    
    Thanks,

    John,
    
    ALL-IN-1 (note the correct spelling please) only supports old-style
    NBS format messages and whilst there is latent support for BCC
    (Blind carbon copy) that code was never fully implemented. The disclose
    BCC recipients is to the best of my knowledge something that was added
    when NBS was replaced by X.409 (as supported by MR/X) and never
    existed in the NBS standard.
    
    Regards,

1892.2But how would it help anyway?FORTY2::ASHGrahame Ash @REOFri Dec 04 1992 10:4913
I think Andy has the right answer (i.e. NO), but the wrong reason!

It's not to do with BCC recipients - it's all other recips on the envelope. 
Envelopes have no concept of TO/CC/BCC - they're all TOs effectively. The 
ancient routines which upgrade ALL-IN-1 messages into "MRIF" format will set 
Disclose Recipients to True - this is done as the message is posted into MR; 
there's no way the user can affect this.

However, I'm still not sure what the problem is with ccMail - someone else 
must be dropping the non-actionable recips from the envelope as it's 
delivered. ALL-IN-1 can do nothing tp prevent that.
