Description
Steps to reproduce
- Go to Contacts and create a Contact Group
- Select Send Email from the three dot menu next to the group name and it opens the email with the users just fine.
- Select Send Email as BCC from the three dot menu next to the group name and it returns an Internal Server Error page.
Expected behavior
The process should open the Mail app Compose Email window with the group members listed in the BCC field as it does in the To field when the Send Email option is used.
Actual behavior
Internal Server Error page

Research direction
Reproduce the Contacts group actions and compare the Send Email path with the Send Email as BCC entry point. Trace the failing BCC request into the Mail app, then verify that the compose window opens with group members in BCC instead of returning an Internal Server Error.
