Some people deliberately turn this off. I'm not sure why. (I can *sort* of understand it for mailing list mail, but not for "direct" mail.) > Further, you should never assume that other recipients do not > see BCCs. That it entirely up to the settings of the recipient's > email client. If your MUA is actually adding a "real" header with BCC: information, it's broken. BCC isn't supposed to be a header in the usual sense; it's a way to tell your mail client to add extra SMTP RCPT TO: commands when sending the message. The recipients should NEVER see those extra recipients. The only way someone might find out about BCC'ed recipients is if they are the server admin (or have access to the mail logs) and are willing to spend the effort to wade through the logs tracking the message ID to see who got a copy. And that only applies in the case where the sender's SMTP server is also the destination; and partially applies if there are multiple recipients at a remote domain. If a remote domain only has one recipient in the list, they will NOT see any information regarding other recipients. -kgd -- Get your mouse off of there! You don't know where that email has been!
