Automatic sending to another email address how to? in forum The Bat! - Configuring the E-mail Client.
I realize what you want, but you cannot do that with TB.
TB cannot send a BCC with a subject different than what the other recipients (mentioned in To: and CC: headers) receive. So a template option won't work.
TB cannot send a BCC without sending the message to the addresses in the To and CC headers too. So you can't use a filter action that sends a BCC with an altered subject to your friend without causing your message to be send again to your original recipients. Thus causing TB to become entangeld in a recursive routine.
And as you don't want a forwarding filter, I'm afraid you're depending on alternate software. I guess you could achieve your goal with X-Ray (a proxy smtp server), but not solely with TB.

First of all thanks all for your time in replying to my question.

To Roelof Otten: it's not just a forward what I need and I could have solved it just putting %bcc='"Friend's name" ' in the account template.
I need something slightly different.
I'd like the same message I write to a recipient would be automatically sent with the same original recipient in "to:" field , my friend's name in "bcc:" field, the same original message and (possibly) the subject changed.
Infact if multiple users check the same email account from different towns and each one can send his own answer to the recipient, in that way all other users would know who and what answered to a specific recipient and the Sender name (which is the name of a bed&breakfast) would always be the same for the recipient.
I hope to have explained myself enough.
I think a correct template/quick template would do the trick.
Thanks again for your time
Best regards

Redo from start.
Delete all changes you made, because something has gone wrong with it.

And now create an outgoing filter that checks whether the sent message is not forwarded (subject doesn't contain Fwd) and is not addressed to your friend.
As action you set a forward to your friend, that should do it.

Thanks a lot! The Bat! seems to be very powerful but i have to configure it correctly....

1- I've tried exactly as you said but i think something it's wrong because the bat! recursively starts sending mail to the trigger account and I have to stop it manually...
2- Is the line
====quote====
%Subject="[Trigger] %OSubj"%-
=============
to be put in the account template or queued to the string in quick template??
Where can I find documentation about macros and templates?
Thanks again

You only need this in extremis.

%if:/%fromaddr/=/trigger@account.net/:/%bcc='"Friend's name" '/%-

change the trigger to the email address of the account that will trigger the behaviour.

Put that line in a QuickTemplate called CondBCC then add the line

%qinclude(CondBCC)%-

in any templates you think may need it. Use the '%-' line ending to make sure that the end of macro line does not insert a blank line in the output message.

Thanks for your reply.
Ok for the %bcc in templates.

Forgive me but I haven't understood how to set up "conditional macros" in address book's templates...

Is there an way (with filters, templates or account settings) to send the same message/sender/recipients to another recipient with the subject changed?
Infact with the templates you suggested the subject remains the same...
Any advice?
thanks

Just modify the account's new message and reply templates to include

%bcc='"Friend's name" '

and that will do it for you.

Any custom templates you make for folders in the account would need the same treatment.

If you use address book templates then more consideration has to be given and you may need to investigate using conditional macros to determine whether or not to BCC the message.

Automatic sending to another email address how to? in forum The Bat! - Configuring the E-mail Client.
How can I set up The Bat! in order that each new message I write (or reply, forward, redirect) is automatically sent in BCC to another email address?
The purpose is to deliver to a friend of mine, each messagge I send out from my account having subject modified with some text so he can make a filter in his own email client to mark each email sent from my account.
My friend should see original recipient and message I wrote (or replied,forwarded,redirected) and in addition I'd like he could receive a modified subject with some text so he can make a filter in his own email client to mark each email sent to others from my account. Is it possible?
Thanks in advance
Bye
