does the reply go to the bcc person too, or can you make it somehow with reply to all?

i have a feeling im being bcced and i want the bcc person to see the reply where i make this sucka put his tail between his legs and go away

Unless their mailserver does some voodoo, the bcc wont see it since they aren't in the to:/cc: fields on your reply.

aha

yeah, reply goes only to that person. not the cc

reply all will give you your OMFG PWNT satisfaction.

hack the mail server and see the full headers?

2/19/2009 10:23:38 AM

Is this on gmail?

Cause on gmail, you hit "show details" and see if anybody is being CC'ed

and reply to all will send the reply to the person that sent you the email and anybody that they have in the CC line

You could bcc the other person in your response just like in the original.

2/19/2009 10:24:46 AM

no i can't, i dont know who the bcc person is. i can just tell by the email that there is an audience

2/19/2009 10:26:51 AM

its me

2/19/2009 10:29:19 AM

wait until they leave their computer for a few minutes and search for the email they sent you?

2/19/2009 10:29:53 AM

assuming this is in an office, just reply and bcc everyone in the office

Embed an image in your next reply without bringing down the hammer so they send you another email. Hopefully they BCC that email to whoever, and when it gets to the BCC they'll load the image. Host the image on a webserver you have access to and then you can get dey IP when they connect to your server for the email. If you want to get more nasty you could try some javascript, but alot of filters will strip that out.

I'd just send back what you were gonna do. If they send it to the BCCs you're set, if they dont then the BCC's are gonna wonder what happened and they'll find out how it ended anyhow.

haha shaggy i was thinking about doing something like that just to prove that i'm being Bcc'd... but an IP isn't gonna help track down who the actual person is. it could narrow it down to a region, or potentially down to within a few yards. and while thinking about different things i could embed or loading an image through a php script and taking info that way, i dont really wanna do any leethax kind of stuff.

was just wondering how primative the 'reply to all' thing was, and if it was trickable in outlook or maybe certain webmail software.

ehhhhhh its not a big deal that i find out, i just figured the audience had the right to see my reply

it just got me thinking

I'm pretty sure if you are a bcc recipient in Notes and you hit "reply to all" it will reply to everyone and they'll be able to tell that you received a copy. I say this because my office mate was bitching about someone she bcc'd hitting "reply to all" a while back.

But no, you shouldn't be able to see the bcc people if you were cc'd and you hit reply to all.

also, id imagine that if i sent a test email and embedded something in it to snatch up ip addresses, or even count hits, that it would get flagged by a virus scanner. at the very least as something like malicious javascript... or flag the webhost as a spyware site.

generally embeded images are ok. Most newer mail clients will hide the images until you click a button to show them. Its only the embeded code stuff that will get flagged as bad.

Just out of curiosity I tried the BCC in Notes. When the BCC recipient replies it only goes back to the original sender as expected. Didn't even have the option to reply-to-all. Which makes sense because reply to all isn't an SMTP thing. Its just a user friendly way to add all the users in the from/replyto/cc fields into the to/cc fields of your reply.

What I wasn't expecting was that the internal message ID used by notes was the same in the headers of both emails.
