E-mail question

Is there any way to identify whether an email was bcc'd to someone else when you receive it? I'm just curious as to whether or not an e-mail I received was also sent to, say, my boss.

    I don't believe there is a way to figure that out unless you've got access to the server that processed the original sending of the email. I'm pretty sure that's not in the headers or anything...

    No, this won't work. Reply All is not magical; it just creates a new reply message to the people in the To: and CC fields. If you reply-all to a BCCed message, it won't go to the originally BCCed parties.

    The short answer is no, you can't find out whether someone was BCCed on a message sent to you. That's the point of BCC.
