how can i stop attachments going to those cc'd in Outlook 2007?

[Frank Lafferty]

When I send attachments to a group - there are times I do not want those
attachemnts to go to those people I 'CC' or "BCC".

I was sure there was a way inolder versions of OUtlook but cannot find how
to do it in 2007 version.

You can't. I don't think you've ever been able to do this in Outlook....

While this is a frequent request, it was never possible in any version of Outlook. I think there is at least one addin that can do this. See http://www.slipstick.com/addins/mail.asp.

Not possible within the simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP). Your
e-mail client generates an aggregate list of recipients from the To, Cc,
and Bcc *fields* in the UI for that program. For each recipient in that
aggregate list, it sends a RCPT-TO command to the SMTP mail server.
After sending N RCPT-TO commands for the N recipients, that is followed
by one - just *one* - DATA command to send the message (client-side
headers, blank delimiter line, and body). So ONE copy of your e-mail
gets sent to ALL specified recipients for that e-mail. It is not an
Outlook limitation. It is an SMTP limitation: one DATA command (for the
message) for all RCPT-TO commands (to specify the recipients).

If you want some recipients to get your e-mail without attachments and
some with attachments, first send your e-mail without the attachment to
some of your recipients. Then go to the Sent Items folders and Resend
that same message but change the list of recipients to those that do get
the attachment, and then attach the file and send that message. You
will have to send 2 copies of your e-mail: one to some recipients
without the attachment(s), and another to the other recipients with the
attachment(s).
