what the cc and bcc is for

CC: carbon copy. If you want to email someone but you also think someone
else needs to see it. Use the CC field.
BCC: Blind Carbon Copy. This is so whomever you send the message todoesn't
see the list of addresses. Good if you want to send to a list of people but
don't want everyone to know who you sent it to.

 

I remembered at work, I sent an email to two people as BCC. However, the
other person who I didn't want to know that I included the other some how
found out. I wonder how!

You probably chose BCC in the Create Mail window, yet added the addresses to the
To: instead of Bcc from the address book.

Or someone had 'rights' to your sent mail box.

Huh ?

 

In a corperate environment, with for example Exchange 2000 server, and
client machines running Outlook, the email can be stored on the server.

The Admin has rights to all the mailboxes, and the admin can set rights for
other people. EG, Ann could have rights to send mail as Beth, and read
beth's inbox and beth's sent mail.

Useful for clueless managers who delegate their email 'stuff' to other
staff.

Out of interest, why *do* you post? You're obviously stupid, but why try to
prove it at every opportunity?

Ignore them, they just jump in at the first moment to put people down, without
making any kind of effort to help the OP's with any sort of solution.

 

I definitely remembered entering the bosses email address on the TO: and the
second person BCC:

 

Oh right, probably as you mentioned the <undisclosed recipient>.

 

The only person I would think has the rights is the admin.

I just sent myself a e-mail, with one address in the To: and another in the Bcc.
Both e-mails showed the To: address in the header, therefore the person you
bcc'd to would have been aware of the address of the person you placed in the
To: field.

 

Both have to be in the BCC field for it to work. (everyone can see the TO:
field and the TO: receiver can see the BCC recipients.

Put "usenet" in the subject-line if you want to mail me, otherwise it will
bounce.

Soddin' annoying!

 

Alright, don't get your nickers in a twist. Gee some ppl.

 

Thank-you!

Are you sure the To: receiver can see the BCC: recipients? That sounds
broken, and not RFC compliant.

Testing on a few clients and servers, both pop3 and smtp, I cannot view
contents of the bcc field.
