you can add recipients (to "t", copy "c" and bcc "b") after leaving the
editor but before sending the msg.

reading the very fine manual might help *and* there is a help screen after
leaving the editor.

if you have already send the message, you can resend an ammended msg to
the missing recipients.

if that doesn't answer your question, I don't understand as you have
presented it.
