This is DEFINATLY a BUG.

Outlook 2007, all updates


I get a message that includes my address in the BCC list.

The TO address is the same as the FROM address; ther person that sent the
message.

When I click REPLY my address is in the to address box.

This should not happen.

It should be the FROM address.


I am not clicking REPLY-TO-ALL.

Someone needs to report this.

Can you reproduce it? Or is it just for this one message?
Have you inspected the header information already? Sounds to me that the
Reply-To has been set to your own address.

The way you've reported it, it cannot be considered a bug as the
confirmation of the above is missing. Also, without any details about how
the email was created, it is hard to reproduce the results in a lab
environment. I tested it the way you described it and things worked like it
should.

Tried your instructions and Outlook worked as it always did for me. Cannot reproduce
your issue here

It should be the FROM address.

No, it should not. It should be the REPLY TO address. Check the header of
your message to see what that is.

This is DEFINATLY a BUG.

Definatly? Defiantly? Definitely?

Outlook 2007, all updates

I get a message that includes my address in the BCC list.

There is no Bcc list. In the received e-mail, there will be no Bcc
header. The sender might've Bcc'ed you but there will be no Bcc header
in the e-mail that you received from them.

The TO address is the same as the FROM address; ther person that sent
the message. When I click REPLY my address is in the to address box.
This should not happen. It should be the FROM address. I am not
clicking REPLY-TO-ALL.

When replying, the From header's value is used for the recipient UNLESS
a Reply-To header was used (which specifies to where replies are sent).
The e-mail client only shows the From header. It does not show the
Reply-To header.

You need to look at the source of the e-mail to see if the Reply-To
header was used. Right-click on the e-mail and use Options to see the
headers.

Someone needs to report this.

Not a problem if the sender specified a non-blank Reply-To header.

Internet Message Format

Section 3.6.2
"When the "Reply-To:" field is present, it indicates the address(es) to
which the author of the message suggests that replies be sent. In the
absence of the "Reply-To:" field, replies SHOULD by default be sent to
the mailbox(es) specified in the "From:" field unless otherwise
specified by the person composing the reply."

Thank you all for the help.

We are creating a couple of mail groups. During testing, for some of the
messages, OL puts my address into the reply-to of the header. Cannot figger
how. The computer used for this does not have my email information, other
than included in a group, which is the BCC entry for the email message.

It happened again today.

Still a puzzlement.

The problem: some how a template decided to check the send-replies-to box
and added my address.

The templates were being edited on many computers. Only one template did
this. Very weird.

And so on.
