My aunt sends newsletters by email from Outlook 2003 on her home PC to a large group of people. She uses the BCC (blind carbon copy) field to include all of the addresses that she is sending to so that the addresses are hidden from the recipients.

Does anyone know how she can display the BCC field when viewing previous messages from her Sent Items folder?

A couple of ideas I found:

When you're logged in as yourself, and you send a message using the BCC
field, you will be able to see the BCC contents in your sent items.
Recipients will not be able to see the contents of the BCC field.

The BBC field is not showing on the other computers. On an open mail, you
can enable the field from the view menu, in the folder view, you can add it
by right clicking and selecting field chooser.

Thanks Jephree. The BCC field is meant to be hidden from the recipients so that's OK. The problem is that, when my aunt goes to view messages that she has previously sent in her Sent Items folder, the BCC field doesn't appear.

Thanks for the link. I did some other searches on the Microsoft Office Online web site as well but couldn't find any suggestion of how to switch the field on in Sent Items

Here is another stab & link:

The Bcc field is not listed in the rightside pane showing the list of
sent items (unless you customize the view by adding the Bcc column).
Open the message in its own window (i.e., double-click on it). There is
no Bcc field listed in the headers section of the view window? Do you
have headers shown (View -> Message Headers)? If you attempt to Resend
the sent message, does the list of recipients appear then?

Thanks Jephree. My aunt said that she had switched on all the headers but still couldn't see the BCC field. That link gives me a few other things to look at though.

I've never searched in Google Groups before so you've taught me a new trick - thanks!
