BCC and Undisclosed Recipients

hjb123

When I forward emails on I have started to put all the email addresses in the BCC line so that when I forward emails noone can see the other email address I have sent it to.

I was just wondering how you get it not to say 'undisclosed recipients'? When my Mum reads her emails - when it doesnt get spammed - it says undisclosed recipients - however when I receive emails from my friends that do the same it doesnt say undisclosed recipients! It just doesnt say anything in a to, cc or bcc line. Is this because I am hotmail and my parents are on outlook express.

Regardless of the last paragraph how do I do the whole BCC thing but make sure the emails arent getting spammed? Ive tried sending myself emails but they dont seem to be appearing!

I think you need to put at least one name in the "to" field. This could be another mail address you set up yourself for this purpose.

I've tried sending with all in BCC and this is what is says in the failed mail delivery return "550-failing address in "To" header is: <Undisclosed-Recipient:;>
550 If you are using BCC make sure you have an address in the TO field.

Hiya - think have got is sorted - the email I sent from outlook express to hotmail never got there! But the one I sent from my hotmail to my hotmail did! And it didnt show undisclosed recipients! So I guess it has been solved in that outlook express throws up the undisclosed recipients and hotmail doesnt?!

If it bugs you then use your own email address in the To: field and keep using the BCC field.

I salute your attitude btw, there's nothing worse than a myopic session of reply-to-alls :eek:
