Bcc Email

[Maydup]

Imagine I send an email to both Janet and John, and bcc in both Peter and Paul.

If Paul were to reply to all, would Peter receive it?

Equally if Janet were to reply to all, would Peter and Paul receive it?

Paul's email client (or his web-based email service) won't receive Peter's email address in the header that's attached to your email. So it will be totally impossible for Paul's client (or email service) to send anything to Peter since, as far as his client/service is concerned, Peter doesn't even exist.

Similarly, both Peter and Paul won't receive any 'reply all' mail from either Janet or John, because Janet and John will not received have Peter's & Paul's email addresses in the header attached to your email.

Why didn't Mary get included?

[Maydup]

Thanks Chris. So if I want anyone involved to see Paul's reply I need to forward it myself?

Hopkirk - Its not Christmas yet.

[Maydup]

Too busy lambing for emailing

[Buenchico]

Janet & John (and, of course, you) will get Paul's reply because (since they weren't in the Bcc section) their addresses will be in the header that Paul received. You only need to forward Paul's reply to Peter.

That, of course, assumes that Paul actually uses 'Reply All', instead of just 'Reply' anyway. The way to check is to examine the header of the mail you receive from him, as that will show all the addresses that its been sent to.

Got it thanks Chris!

Permission to open the bottle now ..... Enjoy

Mary died in 2009 Hopkirk. That's probably why she wasn't included.
