set Bcc when To: is not myself

[Yubin Ruan]

How can I set the Bcc: to myself when To: is not myself?

I try something like this but it does not work:
send-hook "!~t ***@gmail.com" 'my_hdr Bcc: Yubin Ruan <***@gmail.com>'

Then I try this and it work when I try to send a fresh email:

send-hook "~t ablacktshirt" 'my_hdr Bcc:'
send-hook . 'my_hdr Bcc: Yubin Ruan <***@gmail.com>'

however when I reply to somebody, it does not work. Frustrating! ;-(

I read in an old post that changing/setting headers doesn't work with
send-hook.

You may want to try a folder-hook perhaps?

Is this a bug or something?

It doesn't seem to be.

Ah I still cannot figure out why these hook only work at sometime. Maybe I
just misunderstand the meaning of each hook.

Anyway, I found a configuration option that can solve my problem neatly:

set metoo=yes

back to the books, err docs I guess. hooks do not all work the same and
some only work under specific conditions and in certain order.
