Is there some way in Outlook 2003 to be able to see bcc'ed receipients of an incoming email message?

When we were on Lotus Notes, if you hit "reply all" it would show you who was bcc'ed in the original message.

Issues here at work, nothing trivial or controversial.
 
No. BCC typically triggers the sending SMTP server to strip that information and send the message separately.
 
Jeeze Grady! Your av is killin' me!!!

I asked our IT guy and no, without a bunch of gymnastics and admin. privileges a bcc is not able to be read by a recipient. I know a few times I got screwed behind my back with a bcc sent to somebody that shouldn't have seen something I sent. I have become very carefull with my e-mails since...
 
Grady Bcc is pretty chickensh*t sometime but thats why it means Blind carbon copy and not just Carbon copy. The purpose of it is to keep other from getting/having your email address, but like anything else some people have found ways to hurt other with it. JMO :mad2:
 
No, the BCC feature has been used to include several VP's and in one recent instance our division president when someone has an issue with our products and has done that in an attempt to go behind our backs making it look like we're slacking off.

We were interested in knowing where along the chain of 1,000 emails the BCC took place. Like I said, good ol' Lotus Notes would show who was BCC'ed when you hit the reply all button.
 
If you look at the internet header associated with the email, it MAY show you others that are cc'd or directly sent to, above the BCC level. If you can find somebody who was cc'd, you may be able to see all the bcc's below them.

If it was done properly (all recipients you can find were bcc's, then you're hooped. The Bcc function is designed to hide Bcc's from each other.

It has been a while since I used outlook but I know if you printed the email I thought it gave you everyones name on it.
 
The only way you could get caught is if someone who was BCC'd replied to everyone, forwarded the email, or printed the email. The other recipients of the email (those who were addressed or CC'd cannot see the BCC in any way, shape, or form. There is no trick to recovering this from an email you received as the information was stripped out by that point unless something is malfunctioning.
