Message: [QUOTE="VanguardLH, post: 4718002"] Unlike the other Office 2007 components that got encumbered with the context sensitive ribbon bar, Outlook 2007 kept the menu bars that were present in the 2003 and earlier versions. However, that applies only the main UI for Outlook 2007. When you open an item in its own window, it has the ribbon. You must already be aware of the ribbon in dialog windows because getting the Bcc field to show when composing a new e-mail requires that you had to navigate under the Options tab of the ribbon bar. The default of Outlook is to NOT show the Bcc field, so you had to use the ribbon bar to add it in order for you to specify any Bcc'ed recipients. On why Bcc was not shown be default, read [URL]http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299804[/URL]. I just did a test of OL2007 in a virtual machine. By default OL2007 does not include the display of the Bcc field when you are composing an e-mail. You have to add it by using the Options tab of the ribbon bar. After sending a test e-mail in which a Bcc recipient was specified, I had to do nothing to show the Bcc list other than opening the sent item in its own window. By default (and I don't know that you can configure otherwise), the Bcc field will be shown in the headers area if the Bcc field had been used. You don't have to manually add the display of the Bcc field. If Bcc was used, it is shown in the headers when you open that item in its own window. So it could be that you thought you had included Bcc'ed recipients but did not. Or you ran into the behavior where Outlook will not display ridiculously long field values because the entire dialog would get filled up with its value. The trick is to Resend the message (just to display the new-mail dialog and not really send it) to see the contents of the Bcc field that had been used before.
