I am trying to color code e-mails where I am a cc or a bcc. I have been able
to change the cc color through View/Current View/Define Views, click on
Messages and select Modify, Automatic Formatting. I changed the font to the
color I want, and under Conditions/Advanced inserted cc contains [my last
name]. That works fine. I then tried to apply the same settings to e-mail
where I am a bcc, but it does not work.

Is there a way to do this?

Work around...Before sending the message, apply a category e.g. bcc to the
email you´re sending
Then apply rule on this category name for sent messages (or else) and move
them to a separate folder. Assuming that you want to quantify your bcc sent
emails

Allow me to clarify -- I want to change the color for bcc's where I am the
recipient.

Well, one problem you're going to have is that it won't always be that you
were BCCd on a message if you aren't in the To or CC fields, you could be on
a mailing list or it could be an internal distribution list, but, why not
use the Advanced tab and does not contain for both CC and To.

The reason why using 'where you are bcc' doesn't work is because Outlook
doesn't actually know that you were BCC'd. It simply knows that you aren't
in the To or CC header explicitly.

Try this one
create the rule with an exception. Apply a flag or move all mail after
arrival except if your name is in the To or CC field.

That would work except in the case where you are a member of a Distribution
Group. In those cases, e-mail would be indicated in the same color as a bcc
because your name is not actually contained in either the To or cc lines.

Err, yes, which is why I said the whole thing about being on a mailing list
or an internal distribution list.

That said, Outlook doesn't know that you're on a DL, or that you are on a
LISTSERV, or that you were BCC'd. It only knows that you are not in the To
line or the CC line in the message header.
