Yes I know of the RFC, the thing is that other mail clients do interpret Bcc.

The BCC field is useful for e.g. quick newsletters without disclosure of all the recipients.

Hope the developers can include an option to interpret the full (malformed according to RFC 2368) mailto URI

hmm, maybe developers saw RFC 2368:

A mail client should never send anything without complete disclosure to the user of what is will be sent; it should disclose not only the message destination, but also any headers. Unrecognized headers, or headers with values inconsistent with those the mail client would normally send should be especially suspect. MIME headers (MIME-Version, Content-*) are most likely inappropriate, as are those   relating to routing (From, Bcc, Apparently-To, etc.)
 
Note that some headers are inherently unsafe to include in a message generated from a URL. For example, headers such as "From:", "Bcc:", and so on, should never be interpreted from a URL. In general, the fewer headers interpreted from the URL, the less likely it is that a   sending agent will create an unsafe message.

Hello people,

I just downloaded the new shareware version 3.99.27 of The Bat.

One thing which doesn't work is the BCC field in mailto: addresses.

When I have a mailto: address in the format:

mailto:noname@nocompany.com?cc=theother@nocompany.com?BCC=whatever@none.com&subject=yestest

The Bat open up with the following fields:
TO: noname@nocompany.com
CC: theother@nocompany.com
BCC: EMPTY
Subject: Yestest

When I replace the ?BCC to &BCC the whole address gets put into the CC Field like so:
To: noname@nocompany.com
CC: theother@nocompany.comwhatever@none.com
BCC: EMPTY
Subject: Yestest

I hope this error will be fixed in The Bat as other Mail clients (Outlook & Thunderbird) recognize the BCC field easily.
