Adding an automatic BCC to Outlook Messages

[Robert McN]

I'd like to tweak my Outlook 2003 for Windows XP such that all of my outgoing
messages are automatically sent to a BCC. (In other words, the BCC field
will by default have an address written in it.) Is that possible?
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.
Bob

Robert,
Thanks very much for the reply. I tried it but it didn't work. This is what
I did. As suggested, I opened Outlook 2003 and pressed Alt-F11 and then
drilled down until I found "This outlook session." I then added the following
code,

Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim objMe As Recipient
Set objMe = Item.Recipients.Add("(e-mail address removed)")
objMe.Type = olBCC
objMe.Resolve
Set objMe = Nothing
End Sub

The only difference is where above I have, "(e-mail address removed)" I put in my
actual email address.
I closed the program, restarted, and opened the email message form. The BCC
field, however, was blank. I tried to do this without the parentheses and
without the quotation marks, but there resulted in error signs.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

You won't see it during composing as it is added during sending.

Thanks for your reply Robert. I have no idea why, but I've described to you
what I did, which I think is exactly what you indicted I should do, and it
doesn't create the BCC. I even tried two different email addresses, but it
didn't work work for either. I'm not sure if you have any suggestion, but if
not, I'll just keep adding the BCC. (The motive here is that I want to have
the BCC as an archive copy stored on the web. Maybe you have another idea
about how to automatically achieve this.)

In any case, I do appreciate your help.

All the best,
Bob
