SYMPTOMS
When you receive a message in Outlook Express, the message may be addressed to "undisclosed recipients."



CAUSE
This behavior occurs when the sender uses the Blind Carbon Copy (Bcc) box to address the message and leaves the To box blank.



MORE INFORMATION
When you use the Bcc box in Outlook Express to send a copy of a message to additional recipients, the recipients' names are not visible to other recipients of the message. If you address a message using only the Bcc box, the message is addressed to "undisclosed recipients" when the recipients view the message.
