BCC just disappeared from i-Mac mail

Hello,


I send out weekly emails using the "last email" list of BCC addresses. It seems to have just disappeared from all my emails and is grayed out when I go to select it. Can anyone help?


Thanks!

iMac (27-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

Try this:

Change Mail Preferences / Viewing to "Custom" header detail (and make sure BCC is included in the list). I'd also click "Show Details" in the upper-right-hand corner of e-mails that give you that option. (That's good in another way as well: it allows you to see when you have duplicate e-mails.)

Does this happen only in Sent, or is it an issue in all of your mailboxes? If only Sent, you could try rebuilding that mailbox. If it happens in all your mailboxes, see the following articles:

The OS X Daily article also discusses rebuilding your mailbox. If you reindex, Mail may say it's importing messages, but it's really just rebuilding its database.

Please let me know if rebuilding or reindexing fixes the issue.
