Hi all; anyone know how to always display the BCC field on every new message
composed, you know, make it the default to display the BCC field? I've
played around with forms editing but none of my efforts, which were little
more than shots in the dark, have produced the desired results.

Thanks,
Lucee
 
I forgot to add; when composing a new message, on the View menu the option

to check the BCC field is not there as it was in Outlook XP :-(

I was too hasty in posting my question; I've just found the answer here
http://weblogs.asp.net/johnrdurant/archive/2004/08/16/215239.aspx (thanks
Tom Mertens!) -- I had to turn off Word as the e-mail editor then compose a
new message then click the "Options" dropdown button on the toolbar and
check BCC, which makes that field appear on all subsequent new messages. I
was also pleased to see that the setting stuck when I turned Word as the
e-mail editor back on afterward. Hope this helps someone. Now if only I
can figure out how to turn off the folder shortcuts with tiny icons and get
all my folders to display in the folder list, I'll be very happy indeed!

Cheers

Click on the "folder" button in the navigation pane & you'll see all
folders.
 
Wow, to think the answer required such a simple fix; thanks Lanwench!

Any chance you know how to get rid of the "folder sizes" and "data file
management" links at the bottom of the folder list? I've never yet used
them and would dearly love to remove them entirely. Thanks.

You're welcome. The new interface takes some getting used to, but it's quite
nice.

Hi - no, I don't think you can. If you end up with as many mailboxes/folders
in your folder list as I have, though, you will rarely see them!
