How to keep Bcc from one address to the next in T-Bird 60
The latest version of THUNDERBIRD was automatically downloaded yesterday. The first time I used it to do my e-mails, I noticed a MAJOR change in the addressing section. With earlier versions, once you typed in a person's e-mail address, and pressed the ENTER key, the NEXT open line for additional e-mail addresses was the SAME type as the previous one (To:, Cc:, or Bcc:). Now I noticed that when sending an e-mail to multiple addresses, each time you are forced to change the mode (To:, Cc:, or Bcc:) Do you have any idea how annoying this is??? WHY would this feature be included?
Also, WHY does the cursor disappear many times when editing an text message? This is also very annoying & has been an ongoing problem with several previous releases of T-BIRD.
Finally, I do not understand WHY, when editing certain text of an existing e-mail, when the cursor is placed at the end or close to the end of a line of text, AND the END key is pressed, the included text is highlighted. Pressing the DELETE key then moves the undeleted portion of the text line to a line ABOVE where it first appeared. This is very strange, and also annoying.
Thank you.....

THANK YOU!, THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!!! I installed the Ver 52.nn which you so kindly gave me the link for, and I tested it by sending a test e-mail to my 2 other addresses. Guess what?? After typing in the first address, and pressing ENTER, the box below also came up as Bcc: So, while you commented that no one else experienced this anomaly, it's obvious that retrograding to this earlier release solved the problem, and there is something in the Ver. 60 code which is working in concert with something else running in the background on WINDOWS to cause the problem I've experienced since day one. And, so that I won't be unpleasantly surprised in the future, I've changed the setting in the "Update" section of "Tools" to "Notify me before upgrade". For the foreseeable future, I will decline any announcements of future releases.
Thankfully the days of punched cards is long gone. Been there,
Wayne,
As you can see from my last post, Matt was kind enuf to send me a link to the last previous (stable) version BEFORE 60. As soon as I downloaded it, and opened it, the first thing I did was to send a test e-mail to my two other addresses. The Bcc: problem of Ver. 60 was solved. As we progressed with the dialogue about this problem, one of the techs mentioned that no one else had reported this "bug", but it's obvious that this PC has nothing "special" loaded, and WINDOWS 7 PRO is still a very popular op sys for millions of users, and the fact that Ver 52.9 works fine seems to indicate that there was a change made that has affected the section of code that deals with the labels for sending to addresses.
So, again, I say THANK YOU. At least the problem has been solved for me.
