for a long time i have had Mail on my iPhone setup to always bcc me when i send email from my iPhone.
on my iPhone, the bcc address of that email has always been the same as the mail address that i use to actually send that email.

yesterday, when i replied to an email using my Watch, the bcc address that was used when i sent that email was my apple ID address, not the email address that i actually used to send the mail.

the only place that i can find that is used to specify a setting for self bcc address is in the iOS/macOS settings for Hide My Mail, where, in fact, i do specify my apple ID email address to be used, albeit using the @mac.com suffix.
but the iPhone does use the (expected) bcc address that matches the address used to send the actual email.

is this the customary behaviour for self bcc sent on the Watch? i wonder why it would be different between the Watch and the iPhone?
