Bcc

A question was posed to me about the blind carbon copy field in emails.
It is possible for the recipant using some third part software or other means to find out if the email had bcc recipants and who those recipants are?

I thought this was kind of intriguing so I did some googling on BCC recipients and privacy. I should take the time here to point out that I'm not Joe Server and don't work with mail servers on a regular basis (well, never really).

Seems that the answer to your question should be - probably not but maybe. The BCC recipients should all be stripped off of the mail at the server level but errors/versions or different mail server types may not do this so the answer seems to be - more than likely no but maybe.

I was hoping for that type of response. So long as someone does not write in to say that there is this prog or this method will reveal BCC recipients-- I guess for now the integrity of BCC is still intact.

I am guessing that perhaps the BCC recipient 'replied to all' to the email and thus revealed to all who else was emailed.
