I have 2 gmail accounts One I use only on the web the other I access with outlook. I used outlook to send from one to the other using BCC. My email address was diplayed on my other gmail account.

The other annoyning thing is that when I use outlook to send a bcc… it pops up in my inbox as a message from myself.

I hope people are getting my bcc messages.

I think I need a little more testing.

It is no a bug. If you are the sender and a receiver in BCC, you (and only you) will be able to see whole emails (TO, CC & BCC). Normally, you will not send to yourself. BCC is working fine.

Only one of you, Rickyx, is right. I send group emails all the time, and gmail users have complained that they see others’ emails in the bcc field. And I don’t think other users have that problem.

Not a bug. As stated by others, the only address able to view the BCC field is the one that sent the email (eg. If I send an email to myself and person A, and BCC it to person B, only I can see that the email was BCC’d. Person A only sees the email was sent to myself and him, but not to person B. Person B will see the email was sent to myself and person A.)

I think it’s a bug:

send e-mail FROM gmail To gmail and you can read all the contacts in Bcc field.

If someone knows how to contact google people would be a nice fix.

I also get this problem.

I have one more problem.
While I sent email from yahoo account Bcc to my gmail account, Surprise! I didn’t get email.

How this is possible?

Can anyone tell me?

Ya, and it would be nice if there is a setting by which we can automatically enable it instead of clicking the link each time. But anyways I don’t use Yahoo nowadays. It’s too slow for me and gmail has got into my blood too much .

Cheers,
Sudar

Sudar,

Yahoo BETA compose page has a variant of it. It follows Outlook/Outlook Express. By default, BCC is not shown rather you see a link ‘Add BCC’ and then the Bcc: appears.

Ya Rajiv, you are correct. The Bcc filed is displayed only if you are the sender.

Cheers,
Sudar

I don’t think this is a bug. I sent a mail from my Yahoo account to my GMail account and put a BCc to my HotMail account (yes, I’m one of those ppl who continue to use Yahoo and HotMail inspite of using GMail !!). I did not get the BCc address when I checked that mail in GMail.

If I am not wrong, you must have got this because you have sent a mail from your GMail to your GMail itself. May be you are getting the BCc address because of this. I guess there is nothing wrong in showing the BCc field to the sender !!
