Thread: bcc emails: How to see the other recipients?

I think that is the point of a BCC< you can't find out.

That's why it's a Blind Carbon Copy.

Nice one Mark, would be good to know but finding out...none and buckleys ,

just finished some searching to see if a way or not but lokos like that info doesn't get embedded anywhere in the email so no way of finding it a shame really... but also promising to know

I distinctly remember a load of sh*t hitting the fan once at work because you CAN find out who the other BCC's are. So in outlook it's not that "blind", maybe this is if all the recipients are on the same Exchange server or something like that?

As I remember, if you receive a BCC from a third party (external to your company) you won't be able to see the the other recipients. But if some prat at work is BCCing (say to your boss) an email, then you can find out if you have a friendly administrator at work.

It used to be fun to look at MS Word doco's before Microsoft released a security patch, before that nearly everything typed could be seen if you used the show changes tool. Tender doco's had all the other companies names on them as well as all sorts of hidden notes! Great fun. To do this now though the document creator has to have selected "track changes" or be using an un-patched (and older) version of MS Word.

Well, that's a bummer. I was hoping it'd be something as easy as cracking Excel passwords. Always nice to know who you're competing against in tenders!

you can get it out of the original senders sent mailbox :P

or the mail servers log file

but thats it

the mail server treats a BCC header totally different to a CC header and the BCC header isnt carried forward with the message.

On an internal mail server, (exchange or whatever) Sys. Admin can know all.
Hoestly if you don't want everyone to know what you are up to don't do it at work. You would be amazed what sane? adults get up to on a works email/internet and how easy it is to track it.

On external email you won't ever find out. Unless of course it was real heavy illegal stuff in which case they can be tracked back to the source but that would include assistance from the ISP/mail server owner, warrants, etc etc.

But then if you sent it through an anon remailer well you are invisible; and then if it's from a web account using a spoofed IP address through chained anon proxies, your a ghost, but I didn't say that
