Why am I not receiving bcc messages?

[blanche1]

I often bcc myself on messages when sending email in Outlook and I am not
receiving them ... I am using my Gmail account with Outlook 2003, the bcc
message will come through to my Gmail account but not into my Outlook
inbox... How can I fix this?
Thanks.

Gmail handles BCC's to/from the acct differently - the original is in the
sent folder and that is what you see - it never hits the SMTP server and
comes back, so its not a separate message in the inbox.
