Latest version of Thunderbird always pops up a warning if I use a group email, i.e. "CC"

This latest version of Thunderbird thinks I need to see a warning every time I send a message out to a group and suggests I use BCC instead. I know about BCC. If I thought it was necessary to use BCC, I would do so. How do I get Thunderbird to stop warning me about using CC?

Thank you.

PS I attempted to attach a very small image file to illustrate what is happening but this forum page was unable to execute that upload for some reason. 117kb - very small image.

Chosen solution

This will probably be configurable via a preference mail.compose.warn_public_recipients.threshold in the next release. It is already available in the current beta.

suggests that the preference can be added to TB 91.
