When I first started using MailMate, I asked for the BCC feature and it 
was implemented.

After using it a while, I came to realize that Mailmate (as well as 
Google and other programs) was now able to display conversation threads 
from a variety of different folders and that was sufficient.  The only 
time an item won't appear is when the item has been moved to the Deleted 
Messages folder.  Mailmate creates this view very quickly so I have 
ceased the use of the auto BCC and the filing that follows.  When I was 
using the BCC approach, I seem to remember I ran into an issue where if 
I deleted the BCC copy of the message, it might also delete the Sent 
Messages copy which was initially unexpected.
