Sometimes I receives emails from people and when i wish to see to who all it was sent I see the word "Undisclosed Receipient" written next to the word in TO , CC or BCC as a result I cannot see any of the addresses to which it was sent .

How is this done .

Please help

But u still have the IP address. If u want a completely anonymous mail, then use a anonymous remailer.

Somebody please solve this query . How is this happening.

Please don't get mistaken and take it for BCC . BCC is a seperate issue . This happens only in the TO and CC part

This happens only in Outlook Express 6.0 If you add sender directly to BCC Field and leave To and CC Fields Blank Undisclosed receipents will show up. Tested.

U can use the IP address and run a WHOIS scan and TRACERT to find who/where the server /person is sending from ?

also, to see the IP, click on a link that says full view with mailheaders...
