Bcc mail problems

[Linda]

when I send a message with several Bcc recipients, my name
only appears in the FROM line of the recipient's message,
and my email address as the sender, appears in the TO line
of the recipient's message header even though the
recipient receives the message, his name and email addess
appears no where on the message header. Waht gives?

That's how Bcc is supposed to work. "Bcc" means "blind carbon copy". That
means the recipient cannot see the other recipients of the message. The
recipients address appears no where in any of the headers (except the "bcc"
header if you examine the full headers of the message). What is in the
headers like "From", "To", and "Date" have no bearing on who really sent the
message, who received it, and when it was sent. Most other headers are also
mutable.

BCC is Blind Copy. If you only send Blind Copy messages,
the recipients email will NOT show anywhere on the
header. It is not supposed to. If you want to see who it
was sent to you need to use CC instead. BCC works real
well with multiple recipients. People respect and
appreciate it also that their email address is not
floating around to everyone you send mail to.
