texte = Hi Chris, Thanks for the quick reply. Will 8.1.1 be ready in a couple days, or is this something that won't be fixed for weeks or months? The reason I ask is because I have TONS of [sendmail] contexts in my client's code, and almost all of them are failing because of my extensive use of BCC fields. :( So if you cannot fix this problem very soon it means I must proceed with a very time-consuming work-around: Manually remove all my BCC fields then duplicate each [sendmail] context using the former BCC addresses in the "TO" field. This is a work-around project I would love to avoid if you're able to fix this problem immediately ... ?

Hi Chris, Thanks for the quick reply. Will 8.1.1 be ready in a couple days, or is this something that won't be fixed for weeks or months? The reason I ask is because I have TONS of [sendmail] contexts in my client's code, and almost all of them are failing because of my extensive use of BCC fields. :( So if you cannot fix this problem very soon it means I must proceed with a very time-consuming work-around: Manually remove all my BCC fields then duplicate each [sendmail] context using the former BCC addresses in the "TO" field.
