Bcc: Hidden from Recipients, But Not from You
It is comforting and convenient to know that the recipients you entered in the Bcc: field in Windows Live Mail, Windows Mail or Outlook Express are not visible to each other, or any other recipient.
They are also hidden when you view the sent message in the Sent Items folder. Wouldn't it be comforting and convenient if you, at least, could find out who you bcc:ed on a message in Windows Live Mail, Windows Mail or Outlook Express? While the Bcc: recipients are not overtly visible, you can still uncover them if you want to make sure somebody got a copy.
