hide bcc recipiants

[Brenda Warner]

I need to know how to HIDE the Bcc recipiants when sending or forwarding
e-mails. I have just started with Window's Mail so lots to learn, so please
help me with this problem.
Thanks.

BCC stands for "Blind Carbon Copy."

 

[Gary VanderMolen]

In the screen where you compose the email message, click View, All Headers.
You will only have to do this once because that setting is 'sticky'.

 

[Sam Hobbs]

Hide from your view or hide from view by others?

Note that even if you hide it from view by others, others will always be
able to see them if they know how to look at headers.

 

[Bob]

I don't think that's correct.

Even if you view "all headers" you will not see the bcc recipients.

If you have some other way of seeing the bcc recipients please share it.

 

[Sam Hobbs]

It is correct. You are assuming it is incorrect then challenging me to prove
it is correct.

If you had (as I have) looked at a couple thousand previous replies in this
newsgroup before replying in that manner then you would know how to do it.
If you were to just spend some time exploring Windows Mail then you would
know how.

Using "View | All Headers" is the non-technical way. Do a little exploring.
Start by using "File | Properties" when viewing a message. Can you find the
raw message?

 

[Dave]

You are referring to composing a message.

I think Bob is referring to received messages. If you receive a message
with BCC recipients, you cannot see who they are.

 

[Sam Hobbs]

For example, your NNTP-Posting-Host is:
c-68-55-209-88.hsd1.md.comcast.net 68.55.209.88

But you won't see that by using "View | All Headers".

 

[Sam Hobbs]

I am not referring to composing a message. I can see BCC recipients (if any)
of messages I have received.

Your NNTP-Posting-Host is:
cpe-174-101-66-38.columbus.res.rr.com 174.101.66.38

So are you in the Columbus, Ohio area?

 

[Dave]

This is a newsgroup post, not an email message.
That's not a BCC recipient (email address).
That is my IP address.
Look at an email message which has BCC recipients.

 

[Bob]

Exactly right!

You are referring to composing a message.

I think Bob is referring to received messages. If you receive a message
with BCC recipients, you cannot see who they are.

 

[Bob]

Exactly right again!

This is a newsgroup post, not an email message.
That's not a BCC recipient (email address).
That is my IP address.
Look at an email message which has BCC recipients.

 

[Gary VanderMolen]

Sam, what does the NNTP-Posting-Host have to do with viewing BCC
recipients? There is no connection.
If all the BCC recipients were visible to any recipient, what would be the
point of having the BCC feature?

 

[Sam Hobbs]

I specified the relevance of the NNTP-Posting-Host. I might be wrong but you
know I will admit it if I am but ignoring what I said does not help.

[Sam Hobbs]

There is no need to be repetitive such as this. You are making it a
competition not a discussion.

 

[Bob]

No, I'm not making it a competition.

Simply admit you were wrong and end this thread.

 

[Sam Hobbs]

I am saying you are making it a competition. You probably do that to a lot
of people and think the reaction you cause to be their fault.

I haven't seen a reply that seems to address your actual issue.

Where are you able to see the Bcc recipients please?

I just sent a email message to myself at two of my email addresses. And
received them both. I now have three copies on my machine. When I examine
the full headers, the one in my "Sent" folder does contain the "Bcc" line.
The two in my "Inbox" folder do not.

So, it's not the one in your own "Sent" folder you're talking about, right?
It's one that somebody else received?

Try sending a message to yourself, with your own mail address in both the
"To:" and "Bcc:" fields then examine the two you get back. You shouldn't see
the "Bcc" line at all.
