Description
Steps to reproduce
- Open new Mail
- Got to An
- Fill will Email-Adress
- Go to Bcc
- Fill with contacts group
- push send button
- --> No E-Mail is sending to Bcc
Expected behavior
I have a problem with the mail app in Nextcloud:
Sending emails via "Bcc" when entering a contact group from the Contacts app is not possible. When sending, the specified contact group is ignored and no one receives an email from it. The size of the contact group (number of email addresses it contains) is irrelevant. Contact groups with 2 or 87 entries, for example, are generally ignored. Even when saving the email as a draft, the contact group entry is not saved in "Bcc". When the draft email is opened, the address field is empty again.
If email recipients are added individually in "Bcc", the email will be sent. But that is not what the inventor intended if you want to write to a lot of people.
No problems when using contact groups in the "To" and "Cc" address fields. Contact groups can be used without any problems.
Does anyone have the same problem and perhaps a solution so that sending via "Bcc" also works with contact groups?
Reinstalling the Mail and Contacts app was not a solution.
Actual behavior
Sending emails via "Bcc" when entering a contact group from the Contacts app is not possible. When sending, the specified contact group is ignored and no one receives an email from it.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with Mail app 4.1.2 and Contacts app 6.1.3 by comparing a contact group in To or Cc with the same group in Bcc, including saving and reopening a draft. Trace the recipient handling from the address fields through sending and verify that Bcc groups are preserved in drafts and expanded when the message is sent.
