add a BCC recipient who is not already in my contacts

Hi, only recently I missed an important deadline for a professional email due to a known bug in iOS Mail (Mails don't get send if you close the app before the "undo send" delay ist over). Now I encounter the next problem with this bs app:

I want to put sb. in CC who is not in my icloud address book, and I don't want to add him there. However, when I tap the "+" in the mail header, I cannot type in any address: I only see my iCloud contacts and can choose one of them or "cancel"... Is it really not possible to manually add recipient?

Do not use "+" sign.


Simply start typing the email ID whether it is TO, CC or BCC. It need not be on your contacts list.
