There is seriously a Bcc conspiracy. I have my default mail set up in
HTML in Outlook 2007. When I send out a new message with a bcc
recipient, I can see it in my sent folder. But when I reply or
forward the same message to another or the same bcc recipient, when I
go to see whom I sent it to in my sent folder, the field disappears
all together.

Who's behind this plot?

By the way, I'm using Gmail and IMAP if that matters.

are you storing it in the IMAP sent folder or the local sent folder? If IMAP
folder, it's probably related to how gmail stores mail and the fact that bcc
is a hidden field. Store a copy local and see if the BCC field remains
populated.

Diane, I don't think it's Gmail, because whenever I send an email with
bcc recipients from the Gmail interface they are visible in the bcc
fields of the "sent" message.

I suppose that I could keep a copy of the messages in my "sent"
personal folder, but I'm not a big fan of having to go back and forth
between personal folders and IMAP folders.

If I were to do that, would I set it up by making a rule that stores a
copy in my personal "sent" folder?

Thanks for your help.

in outlook 2007 you can either use a rule to copy the sent message to the
gmail sent folder or just disable saving it in the gmail sent folder
(choosing the local folder in acct properties).

How are you "seeing" the Bcc field in your outbound e-mails under the
Sent Items folder in Outlook? Are you *opening* those e-mails to show
them in their own window? Right-click and Open, or double-click on an
item in the Sent Items Folder so the e-mail shows in its own window.
Does the Bcc field show up there (for e-mails where you included a
non-blank Bcc field)?
