unwanted aytomatic BCC address

When I originate a new message in one of my three accounts it automatically includes a BCC address that I don't want. It does not happen when I am using my other accounts. The unwanted address is identical to a group address that I often use for BCCs, but is in a red box and if I leave it there the message cannot be sent. If I just delete that unwanted address everything works as it should. Where would I find and remove something that seems to be a default address on one account?

Hello

Check that: go to the menu > Settings > Composition & Addressing and look for the section labeled Addressing.

You should see a checkbox for Automatically BCC to these addresses with a text box next to it.

Check the text box. If there's an address in there. Delete it?

UNFORTUNATELY I do not have such a check box or text box.

If it matters, I am using 140.3.0esr on Windows 10.
