    Doesn't pm accept cc and bcc this way,
    or do I do something wrong?

    Just found this from 2011:
    "mailto: stopped working properly on upgrading to pmail 4.61" <http://community.pmail.com/forums/thread/29033.aspx>

    Any help?

    I use it behind password protection,
    so harvesting is not a problem.

    Is pmail unique in this,
    or are other clients as choosy?

    I can imagine pmail accepting such cc/bcc
    with a warning.

    P-Mail apparently doesn't work with the BCC & CC "MailTo" URI fields

    Example: mailto:someone@example.com?subject=This%20is%20the%20subject&cc=someone_else@example.com&body=This%20is%20the%20body

    I used the above example with P-Mail as the Default OS Email Client and all fields were populated EXCEPT the Carbon Copy field.

    I then included the BCC field in the following example: mailto:someone@example.com?subject=This%20is%20the%20subject&cc=someone_else@example.com&bcc=someone_else@example.com&body=This%20is%20the%20body

    It failed to populate both the BCC and CC fields.

    Tested with v4.70 Build 546.

    I used the following with MS Outlook as the defauly email client

    mailto:someone@example.com?subject=This%20is%20the%20subject&cc=someone_else@example.com&bcc=me_too@example.com&body=This%20is%20the%20body

    All email fields were populated.

    The fault is in P-Mail.

    Thanks.

    The fault is in P-Mail.

    It could be by design.
