Hi,

I've tried to find an answer for this but I'm not sure I'm searching in the
right way, so I hope someone can help answer a question for me please.

Should the number of names in the BCC field in Outlook 2000 effect the size
of the final mail received by the recipient - i.e. if I send a 4KB mail to
50,000 recipients in the BCC field, would each individual mail, viewed by
each individual recipient, be over infated due to the size of the BCC header?
(This is a hypothetical question for corporate use not public use)

Thanks in advance.

Don't even go there. Putting 50K recipients on one email is folly. You need
to use a mail merge.

It was a hypothetical number. I'm looking to see if there is an impact on
the message size for the recipient to explain that large numbers in the BCC
can cause an issue but I need the actual evidence, i.e. yes it does over
inflate the size of the mail for the recipient, before I went ahead.

Thanks.
