Re: BCC in Outlook Express

Think of the CC and BCC as acting exactly like they sound.

CC - Carbon Copy
BCC - Blind Carbon Copy

A Carbon Copy was originally the technique of using carbon paper to produce
one or more copies simultaneously with the creation of paper documents.
That means the copy is identical to the original in every way immediately
following the act of using the carbon copy technique.

If that is too old-school - think of taking a document to a photocopier and
making a copy of it. Same difference.

In common usage, To field recipients are the primary audience of the
message, CC field recipients are others whom the author wishes to publicly
inform of the message, and BCC field recipients are those surreptitiously
being informed of the communication. However - in all cases the message is
EXACTLY the same - as it is sent at exactly the same time.

You have gotten your work-around from someone else in this conversation.
You send your email message to whomever and forward that sent message to
whomever you planned to BCC it to and add whatever else you want
accordingly.
