The batch find is no problem (just use JEdit to find "&bcc=") but batch replace is impossible because I need to do something different things in each case: 1- change the bcc field name to cc 2- append the bcc values to the to field 3- append the bcc values to the cc field 4- use the bcc values in the to field in a duplicate sendmail 5- ? ... and in each case I also need to remove the bcc field and its value(s) since the bcc is the cause of these problems. Therefore I have no choice but to fix each sendmail manually. Thanks Chris!
