In the composer there's a drop down menu which says "To" by default, and if you open it there's also "Copy" and "BCC", I'm not sure how it is named with an english user interface, though.

You also can configure the one "identity" which is supposed to send a BCC every time. On the third register card, called "expanded" or "advanced" (not sure again how it is called in English), there's a field to fill in an email address to send the BCC to.

Hope this helps, Stefan

1. In Kmail, click on your TO address for intended recipient (but don't change it unless you intend to do so).

2. Hit return, and you will find an address line added for CC.

(Now I use the tab & shift-tab to move back and forth through the menu; much easier than mouse for this small task. But the mouse will work, too.)

3. When you get to your CC addresses (usually beneath the TO address), you can either left-click that with your mouse (or mouse keys, if you like to use them); or better, I think, to use a DOWN arrow key, and you ought to see BCC; and if you hit UP arrow key, you will revert to CC.

And there it is.

A handy tip our armchair adventurers: For myself, I like to create email templates in Kmail for oft-used correspondents (such as the trinity-users list!); this saves me lots of time, as my TO, BCC & CC are already filled out. I make my subject line TDE, and just change that before sending. When I was rebuilding my machine, I used to send a BCC copy to my Gmail account, so that I didn't lose anything in the occasional chaos of reinstallations, partioning, etc. So creating a templates do make some of my emails semi-automated was very helpful.
