Mail::Message#to_s doesn't store bcc field

[mikel]

Hmm.. this is interesting because Mail does NOT serialize the BCC field, on purpose.. because when you are dumping the email into a sendmail process, you don't want the BCC fields to be sent to all the recipients, so you don't paste it in.

What does delayed job use to serialize?

DJ uses YAML serialization. I think the problem was some where in the serialization of one of the syntax nodes. I don't have the stack traces on hand atm. I could construct a test case. It was creating log entries over 6K lines long for each failed job. The error happend when I called from_addrs.

OK. If you can make a test case and patch, even better :)

Any news about this? Serialization of mail instances is still failing:

Mail.new.to_yaml
=> TypeError: can't dump anonymous class Class

With the old tmail gem I used to store e-mails in the database as text via to_s, which includes the BCC field (the tmail gem removed it before sending via the "delete_no_send_fields" method).

For now it seems I have to store the BCC elsewhere, but I prefer to use serialization to get the whole thing.

ledermann, if you want to make a patch that supports a #to_yaml call, that handles this, then I will merge.
