Why aren't my colleague and I seeing the same BCC addresses in the same conversation?

Imagine the next scenario in a Missive organization called ACME, where Paul and Bob work together:

  1. Paul wishes to email Bob but also wants to let his friend Julie know about it secretly. So, he creates a draft and sends it to Bob with his friend Julie BCCed (blind carbon copied). This way, Bob won't see Julie included in the recipients.

    Paul sees:
    TO: bob@acme.com
    BCC: julie@gmail.com

  2. Bob gets the email in a private Missive conversation, only seeing his own email in the TO: line. Curious to discuss the email, Bob mentions Paul @paul in the chat.

  3. By mentioning Paul, Missive combines their separate private conversations into one shared one. For privacy reasons, Missive keeps the BCC hidden.

    Bob will only see his address:
    TO: bob@acme.com

    Paul will see both addresses:
    TO: bob@acme.com
    BCC: julie@gmail.com

Missive ensures the secrecy of the BCC is maintained, keeping Julie's email hidden from Bob's eyes, even if they share and chat in the same conversation.
