Suggestion: New feature for Thunderbird: A "Bcc" category, possibly called "BccV" that makes all BccV's visible just to each other.

Please suggest, to the authors of Thunderbird, the addition of a new feature that I think would be widely embraced: The option to make some, or all, of the recipients receiving blind copies visible to each other, even though still invisible to the principal recipients marked “To:”. This new feature might be called “BccV:” with the capital “V” standing for “Visible”, and capitalized to call attention to it, so that it is not confused with the current, and continuing feature, “Bcc:”.

Here are the details:

(1) Recipients marked “BccV:” would be visible to all other recipients marked “BccV:” and only to them.

(2) Recipients marked “Bcc:” would continue to be invisible to all other recipients (as now), and that would include all recipients marked “To:”, and all recipients also marked “Bcc:”, AND all recipients marked “BccV:”.

Thunderbird operates according to internet standards, known as RFCs (Request For Comments).

e.g. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5321 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1939

You would have to change these first. There's no point in any one email client doing something unilaterally, since servers and other clients wouldn't understand it.
