In Outlook 2003, Outlook express and windows Mail I can see the people I put
onthe Bcc by looking atthe properties of the sent email. But in Outlook 2007
I can't find where they hid this feature. Can someone point me there?

This is only for message that I sent not ones I received.

Nothing has changed. Why can't you examine the BCC field of the message in
your Sent Items Folder?

Why do you answer my question with a question?

I ask a question I expect an answer not a question. Even if I am stupid and
brain dead sometimes.

Why does it ask me to rate the answer and then not give me the ability to
rate it?

In my version of Outlook 2007 the BCC field is automatically shown when the
message has been sent to BCC recipients.....

Because your question was completely unclear. You view BCC recipients the
same way in Outlook 2007 as in any other version. No feature has been
"hidden." If you think otherwise then you will have to explain clearly why
you think so and provide us the steps to reproduce your problem. That's the
way newsgroups work.

Sorry, I thought my question was perfectly clear. "How do I see the BCC on
sent emails?"

When I look at my sent emails I do not immediately see the Bcc recipients.

I finally found them. I had to open the email by double clicking and they
were listed. Just viewing emails in the “reading pane” does not display them
and the new help is useless.

I don’t go from release to release comparing features. All I know is I could
find things in the previous releases of Microsoft Office and now in
Office2007 professional I am constantly hunting for where stuff has been
moved.

Office2007 is the absolute worst of software from a user friendly
perspective. Plus, it is slow. It’s a real dog.

Then for you to answer my question with a question really pisses me off. But
it seems to be typical of support groups these days.

A “happy customer”

Thanks for starting my day with a friendly support response. Two different
times you had an opportunity to answer the question instead you choose to be
a smart-ass. Do me a favor, don’t respond to anymore of my request. I’m sure
there are helpful people out here that can respond properly.

I think you'll find that's how it's always been.....

Indeed. It is typical of any "support group." When you ask an unclear
question, you will be required to clarify it so that we can know what the
problem is. Again, none of this has changed in Outlook 2007 so we would have
no idea why you were having a problem.

It has always worked this way.

Your question was unclear (as *many* are in this NG). It's good that
Russ and Gordon are polite folk - I guess they've seen many a nastier
reply than yours. Pull yer head in man.

BTW (now that you've finally made it clear that you want to see BCC in
the Sent Items folder (as a column) )- it can be done.

Right click anywhere on the columns, select Field Chooser, change the
default dropdown from "Frequently Used Fields" to "Address Fields" -
drag the BCC field to your desired location amoungst the columns.

I think you're very patient to bother with aggressive posters like Kermit! Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth.

With regard to this issue, I am using Outlook Express, and am finding that the method of going to the properties of a sent message and then opening the details tab does not work: the BCC entry is simply not there, although from what I have read, it used to be. Maybe Microsoft has suppressed oit for data protection reasons (but surely data protection has gone too far if you can't even see to whom you've written).

I'd appreciate some information or help on this one.

Note that this is an Microsoft Office Outlook forum.

Outlook Express is family of Internet Explorer and Outlook of the Office
family.
