If I "Reply To All" and someone is BCC'd will they get CC'd?

Just curious.

Howdy,

I don't know the answer, but it would seem that you could
find out by sending yourself a message, and including a BCC
to yourself as well. Then click Reply to All.

If you receive both, you will know that the BCC is
included...

If you receive only one... Well, you get the idea...

All the best,

Yes, and that gets interesting if you don't watch what you say.
Remember, you don't know who got the original message and hence who will get your reply.
By the way, everyone who gets your reply also gets your email address!

I recommend to my customers that they remove the "reply to all" icon in the tool bar to prevent
accidental mailing to unintended recipients. If they need the reply to all, it is still available
in the menu bar.

Huh?
Remember, you don't know who got the original message and hence who will
get your reply.

Where in the world did you get this idea? All you need to do is look at the
CC and To fields to know who will get it. Anyone who was sent the message
BCC will not get any replies. Only the original sender knows who received it
BCC.

Sorry, no, but thanks for playing. Bcc data isn't transmitted with the
message. The receiving client has no way of using non-existent information.

If someone else got Bcc'ed, you have NO INFORMATION as to who they are -
so you cannot forward or reply all to an e-mail that you received to
someone that isn't listed.

The only e-mail addresses used in a forward or reply all are those in
the To and Cc headers. You never get a list of who was Bcc'ed;
otherwise, what would be the point of Bcc?
