Response by BCC Recipient

[GailG]

When a recipient of a BCC hits Reply To All, it's allowed. Is there some way
to change this so that they can only respond to the Sender?

 

[Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]]

Why? When a BCC recipient hits Reply to All, the only people they'll be
responding to are themselves and the Sender.

 

[GailG]

Not if an e-mail has someone in the TO field and you wish to bcc another
person. We experimented in the office to - send to A, bcc to B, sender is C.
When B hits reply to all, then send to both C and A. But A should not have
known that B received the e-mail.

 

[Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]]

OK, that makes sense. I was thinking of the very common case where *all* the
recipients are BCC.

No, you can't prevent that except with user education. If C doesn't think B
can handle it, they should forward the message to B after it has already
been sent to A.

I just did this with Outlook 2002. Open Outlook. Chose "tool", "form", and
then "design a form". Open the type of outlook item you want to restrict.
In this case it would be an email. So click on "message". A template will
appear that looks like you can design it (which is what you are doing).
Click on the "actions" tab. You will have 4 options on the lower section:
"reply", "reply to all", "forward" and something else that I can remember
right now. Select the action you want - in this case "forward". A dialog
box pops up, and uncheck "enabled" (upper right corner of the new dialog
box). Click on "file", "save as", and give the template a name you can
remember. The file will not be saved in Outlook, but it will generate an
Outlook item. I have saved these on my personal section of the server. Then
chose "file" and "close". When it asks you to save the changes, say "no".
When you want to create an email that no one can forward, then go to this
file and open it. It will look exactly like one of your regular emails.
When someone receives the email message and tries to forward it, they will
receive a message to the effect of "this feature is not available".

This will only work with email clients that use that specific outlook form.
It will not work with gmail, yahoo, outlook express, live mail or any
non-outlook client.
