OK so I always saw the bcc on my email....

since this evidentally is how I receive emails that are addressed "to undisclosed recipient", how does it work?

Sorry for the dumb ?? I had never known what it was.

If your email is yourname @ hotmail, then that's something you may want to change. There may be a form somewhere on record with the hospital that you can fill out requesting that they not contact you via email. This is sort of a HIPPA gray area. I understand that you're upset about it, but unless the email contained information about lab results, prescriptions, diagnostics, then you may not have a leg to stand on.

Did the email contain a footer on it that said something like "This information may contain privileged and proprietary information intended only for the recipient?"

No dumb questions - how can one learn if they don't ask question, right ? ;-)
It works the same way as TO: and CC:, however with BCC: all receiptients are undisclosed, just as you've witnessed in other's emails to you. However, just FYI - with Outlook Express, even YOU can't go back to see who you sent it to - it's even undisclosed to you. Maybe I just have an old version, but mine won't let me.

Thank you. Our friend just changed us from Outlook Express to Outlook, but I will keep this in mind. That would be a witch if even <b>I</b> dont know who I sent it to.

Yeah, it does suck. So what I do is copy the names I've selected, before I send, and then send myself an email pasting the names. I know, I'm crazy, but that's what works for me.
