I want to view BCC field when I was BCC'd on incoming emails.

[MG2]

Hello,

I have been bcc'd on an incoming external email (OE to OL 2003) yet when I
view the received email, I don't see myself in the bcc field.

If I'm being bcc'd, shouldn't I see the bcc field - the way I can view it
with internal exchange email?

There is never any information in the Bcc field on messages you receive, only on outgoing messages.

Since you received it, you assume that your address was there. Bcc is short
for Blind Carbon Copy. This term is a holdover from the days of typewriters
and carbon paper placed between the original and multiple copies. When the
letter was dictated comments were included as to who should get carbon
copies and blind carbon copies. The secretary typed the letter, carbon copy
recipients were typed below the signature. If a Blind copy was used that
persons name was only typed on the copy that would be forwarded blind. If
there were several blind copies, the recipients would never know.

Blind means that the sender didn't want you to see the blind recipients.
E-mail follows that protocol to the letter.
