Outlook e-mails should show cc + bcc before opening to prioritize

With the huge number of e-mails we all receive, I believe it would greatly
help me to prioritize the e-mails that are sent to me as the primary
receiver, with all the cc'd and bcc'd messages noted before opening. My
theory is that I would organize my opening of new mail by those that are sent
primarily to me first, and then go to the cc's and bcc's as my time allows.
What do you folks think?

The primary idea behind BCCing people is to not let anyone else know that
you have been included in an email. If you want to prioritize emails
RECEIVED by you, fine, but this should NOT be an option globally for all
mail views.

the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.

You can also use rules or automatic formatting to mark messages by whether they're sent directly or not.
 
You could create a search folder that would have criteria set for emails sent
directly to you. This might help.

I think you should create rules that will color your mail based on those
criteria.
