Outlook should warn when you reply to a message you were BCC'd on

[Mike Carner]

My supervisior included me on an email by BCC. He did not want the other
receipiant to know he was giving this information to me. I made the mistake
of replying with comments. This is an example of why Outlook should have
these two functions:

1. Warn you if you attempt to reply to an email that you were BCC'd on.
2. Warn you if there are other contacts that were BCC'd, when you reply to
all.

I am using Outlook 2003

1) You can modify your view so that e-mails are colored differently when you
are not named explicitly in the To or CC field. For more info on colorcoding
your messages see;

2) Now how should Outlook know that? The whole purpose of the BCC field is
that there is no way to trace (by the receivers) that others were mailed as
well.

1. Warn you if you attempt to reply to an email that you were BCC'd
on.

But this information is already available.

2. Warn you if there are other contacts that were BCC'd, when you
reply to all.

This information is simply not available so cannot be done.
