All the emails I've used in the past have been much less cumbersome in this respect. All emails actually seem to have degenerated over the years. I used free Yahoo email for years until they "modernized" it. Anyway, I just tried it with free Outlook email and I can simply click on the BCC and then a dropdown list of my contacts appears; similarly with Yahoo free email. Fastmail has been working well, but I use this feature a lot and the BCC's vary each time so I can't just make a group as suggested above. Will this BCC feature ever be fixed?

Cut and paste from the 'To' field to the 'Bcc' field does not take long once you get used to doing it. That said, I do think a small adjustment to the Address Book screen to facilitate the process would be good.

Brit - I agree, now that I've sorted it out a bit and learned that going to Contacts doesn't delete my already written msg. Still, what u said.

Use dynamic search for addresses
I very rarely use the address book to select addresses for new messages. I find it much easier to stay in the Compose screen and just enter some portion of their contact information directly into the addressing field (such as Bcc). This causes a dynamic search in the address book for entries which match. A maximum of 10 matches are shown. Capitalization is ignored, and searches always begin at the start of the entry. So you can search for "joh" in "John" but you can't search for "ohn" in "John". The order of the search terms is ignored. The address book fields searched are:
The searches are dynamic. The typical way you use the dynamic search feature to enter several email addresses is as follows:
