enable BCC field by default in OWA 2007?

[robro]

In OWA 2003, the BCC field was present by default, in 2007, you have
to enable it with options>show bcc every time you want to use it. Is
there a way to turn this field on by default as it was in 2003?

This fix worked for us. Backup your original file before altering it.

******In \Exchange2007\ClientAccess\Owa\forms\premium
\editmessage.aspx*********

******Change this Block of code (search for bcc)**********

<tr id="trBcc" <%= ShowBcc ? "" : " style=\"display:none\"" %>>
<td class="tdABB">
<a id="btnBcc" class="flat btn <%=UserContext.IsRtl ? "r" : "l"%>"
<%RenderOnClick("shwABM(\"divBcc\");");%> hidefocus="true"
tabindex="-1" href="#">
<img align=absmiddle src="<
%UserContext.RenderThemeFileUrl(Response.Output,
ThemeFileId.AddressBook);%>"> <
%=LocalizedStrings.GetHtmlEncoded(Strings.IDs.BccEllipsis)%>
</a>
</td>
<td>
<%
if (ShowBcc)
RecipientWell.Render(Response.Output, UserContext,
RecipientWellType.Bcc);
else
RecipientWell.Render(Response.Output, UserContext,
RecipientWellType.Bcc, RecipientWell.RenderFlags.Hidden);
%>
</td>
</tr>

******To This************

<tr id="trBcc">
<td class="tdABB">
<a id="btnBcc" class="flat btn <%=UserContext.IsRtl ? "r" : "l"%>"
<%RenderOnClick("shwABM(\"divBcc\");");%> hidefocus="true"
tabindex="-1" href="#">
<img align=absmiddle src="<
%UserContext.RenderThemeFileUrl(Response.Output,
ThemeFileId.AddressBook);%>"> <
%=LocalizedStrings.GetHtmlEncoded(Strings.IDs.BccEllipsis)%>
</a>
</td>
<td>
<% RecipientWell.Render(Response.Output, UserContext,
RecipientWellType.Bcc); %>
</td>
</tr>

**************************

Now BCC is on by default and can be turned off in options.

This worked for us. Alter this file at your own risk. You can apply
this fix without restarting any services and it works on the fly.
