Doesn't pm accept cc and bcc this way,
or do I do something wrong?

Just found this from 2011:
"mailto: stopped working properly on upgrading to pmail 4.61"
<http://community.pmail.com/forums/thread/29033.aspx>

Any help?

I use it behind password protection,
so harvesting is not a problem.

Is pmail unique in this,
or are other clients as choosy?

I can imagine pmail accepting such cc/bcc
with a warning.

I used the following with MS Outlook as the defauly email client

mailto:***@example.com?subject=This%20is%20the%20subject&cc=***@example.com&bcc=***@example.com&body=This%20is%20the%20body

All email fields were populated.

The fault is in P-Mail.

The fault is in P-Mail.
It could be by design.

P-Mail apparently doesn't work with the BCC & CC "MailTo" URI fields

Example:
mailto:***@example.com?subject=This%20is%20the%20subject&cc=***@example.com&body=This%20is%20the%20body

I used the above example with P-Mail as the Default OS Email Client and all
fields were populated EXCEPT the Carbon Copy field.

I then included the BCC field in the following example:
mailto:***@example.com?subject=This%20is%20the%20subject&cc=***@example.com&bcc=***@example.com&body=This%20is%20the%20body

It failed to populate both the BCC and CC fields.

Tested with v4.70 Build 546.
