Email and Blind copying

I sent an email to a colleague at work and put in the subject line 'Private
& Confidential'.

I got a reply from this person - is there anyway looking at the email header
that would tell me that when they replied they added anyone into the Bcc
field?

Outlook 2003 is my email client

Thanks

The part of "blind carbon copy" didn't you understand?

Nope. Not unless you have access to the logs of the sender's mail
server.

Unless you correspond with a person using public key cryptography and
ever message he sends you is signed with your public key, there isn't
much assurance. And even then, if he wanted to share it with others,
he could by showing them his screen, manually forwarding things
copy/pasted into separate emails, etc.

Now that would defeat the whole purpose of BCC, wouldn't it?

I think they have trouble with the blind part.
