Am I the first person who would like to add a bcc to all outgoing mails in GMail? I just spent some time searching through the settings and looking for a Greasemonkey scripts or firefox plugins which might do the trick. But I found nothing. Not a single tool.
Update 17.9.07:
Thanks to “themaniac” I installed this Greasemonkey script which works perfectly. I was a little bit vexed because I couldn’t find a way to configure the address where the bcc should be sent to. The simple solution: a popup asks for the address the first time a mail is sent 
There is no bcc header but the address I use to receive the bcc’ed mails appears in the received header, so I added these lines to my sieve script to move these mails into the Sent folder.
# bcc'ed mail from gmail
if address :contains "Received" "xxx@yyy.de" {
fileinto "INBOX.Sent";
stop;
}
There’s a “add bcc” link right below the to:
OK, after reading my post again, I admit it is possible to misunderstand what I’m asking
I’m looking for a tool/script/whatever which automatically adds a bcc-header to all outgoing mails.
No, you’re not the first, there’s a tool that does it automatically that you can get from here. Still, it’s not perfect, as my use case is using gmail when I’m not at my normal computer and so I want the email I send to be automatically bcced back to my normal email address so I can file them in sent-mail.
