Subject: BCC ?

Is there any way to attach a warning label for BCC messages, to
alert the receiver?  Currently, there is no such warning, and
the receiver may not "catch' the fact that he/she is being
blind-carbon-copied on the message.

An example of such a warning label would be:

-------------- BLIND CARBON COPY MESSAGE -------------

Thanks,

Tony Villasenor

WADR, I think the point is that, where there is a need for BCC, there is 
a need for the BCC recipients to know that the TOs and CCs don't know 
that the BCCs have a copy.  

A couple of reasons we use BCC are:
-  Don't was TOs and CCs to know about the BCCs for CYA reasons
-  Don't want to provide a list of email contacts besides sender and 
   limited CCs.

If it is really important that the BCCs know they are being blind copied, 
we forward a copy of the message TO them, prepending a note explaining 
that the following message was sent... and they are being provided with a 
blind copy.

I think that warning was ment for BCC receivers, not for those who are at 
To: list. I would like to know if it is possible, too.

Hey, mrcoolhacker, can the art and control chars in your sig.  Notice they
get eaten by the news transport anyway, so they are just irritating.  Your
sig is also about 6 times too long.
