I have a form and when the "email" button is clicked, this scrip runs:
 
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:user [at] user [dot] com?subject=Client Intake Form&body=Please find attached my Client Intake Form.",cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});
 
It is for an attorney, and she would like to be "bcc" on the email, but obviously the bcc would show up when the client email program is launched.
 
Anyway around this? I have looked in the forum but couldn't find an answer.
 
Thanks. Anne

I don't see a way to do this.
Acrobat/Reader don't have a bearing on how the mail app behaves.

It's impossible if you're using the client's email system and has to remain that way - nobody would accept the idea that software could be sending email using their account, but without their knowledge! Think of the potential for spam...


What you should do if you need to keep the recipients of form data confidential is to submit the form to a webserver script, which in turn sends out the emails (but this time using the identity of the server, not the form-filler).
