-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, version 4.0 
- Microsoft Exchange MS-DOS client, version 4.0 
- Microsoft Exchange Windows 95/98 client, version 4.0 
- Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, version 4.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

The Bcc field headers are stripped from all messages when they are sent out
using Microsoft Exchange client, version 4.0. Users who received the message
because they were specified on the Bcc line will not see the other users
specified on this line. This functionality is designed into the product.

MORE INFORMATION
================

There is one exception to this functionality. When you run Microsoft Exchange
MS-DOS client, version 4.0, and you include yourself in the Bcc list of
recipients, the entire Bcc list is present when you receive your own message.
However, the Bcc list does not appear in the message that the other Bcc list
recipients receive.
