From: Robert Hindla on 25 May 2010 10:35 The problem arises, as it seems it must eventually, that somebody types all those addresses into the cc: line instead of a bcc: line of a general announcement e-mail and potentially bad things happen. The world will discover the names of all one's customers. How can we take away cc:, just as we can add or remove the "from" line or the "bcc" line?

There is no functional difference between the To and Cc headers. The separation is based on the old memo scheme and doesn't really make sense when memos became e-mails. Do YOU somehow read an e-mail differently because you were in the Cc header instead of the To header? No, you see the same content and you don't care if you were considered a primary or secondary recipient since it's still the same e-mail. Also, neither the To or Cc (nor the Bcc) headers are actually used to specify the recipients of your e-mails, anyway. That is *data* which is part of your message and may not match the RCPT-TO commands issued by the e-mail client to specify the recipients to the mail server. To avoid your own user blunders, just enter all recipients in the To field.

The From line is just hidden - it makes no difference. You want to prevent users from using the CC field. Best solution might be VBA that checks the # of addresses and refuses to send if there are more than x in the to or cc fields. I believe you can hide the CC button on the form using GPO but that still leaves the CC button in the address book. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: mailto:dailytips-subscribe-request(a)lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST(a)PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM New Poll: What type of email account is your main account? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=42402 "Robert Hindla" <rhindla(a)panix.com> wrote in message news:C8215883.1F892%rhindla(a)panix.com... > The problem arises, as it seems it must eventually, that somebody types > all > those addresses into the cc: line instead of a bcc: line of a general > announcement e-mail and potentially bad things happen.
