E-mails Sent to Unwanted Parties

[Bret]

I sent an e-mail today to answer a qustion on a product
I'm selling on Ebay. I sent an e-mail to the questioner
and my e-mail got sent to family members as well. The e-
mail still shows I only replied to one person but several
(unrelated people) got the reply as well.

Why did my e-mail go to other people that were never on
any cc' list and not a part of the original e-mail? Do I
have a bug that is send a copy of all of my e'mails to
unknown people? The people that received my e-mail both
work at authorize.net and they have no idea why they
received it.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Bret

Hard to know for certain. Try this: right click on the
original email message you recieved and select "options".
In the dialogue box that opens, search through the message
header to see if the mystery recipients are listed. If
so, then they were either BCC'd or masked in some other
way. If you see their addresses listed there, the sender
copied them on the original message.

What version of Outlook are you using? What sort of mail accounts? I don't
know of any problems like this in Outlook, but that's not to say that there
isn't a strange case in which it might happen.

ever happened to you before?
