In the Create Message-->View pulldown click BCC
and the check mark will come offand BCC will go away.

    Rick,
    
    Sorry, I should have been more specific.  Is there a way to 
    customize the BCC option off of the Message Addressing screen that
    you get to when you hit the TO button on Create Message screen?
    
    The customer doesn't want the users to be able to send BCCs.
    
    Thanks,

2168.3I don't think soA1WS2::MANANA::PalmerMon May 05 1997 15:385
I understand what you are asking now. I will check
further to see if it can be done. I really don't 
think it is possible.

2168.6any way to disable it?GIDDAY::BACOTMon May 12 1997 20:4114
    
    Hello again,
    
    I spoke with the customer (our friends at HSH) and the reason they 
    are concerned about BCC is that unlike the forward option that gives
    you an opportunity to add a cover note, the BCC option doesn't. 
    So the recepient of the BCC just gets a copy of the mail with no
    explanation.  If it can't be removed from the window is there any way
    to disable it?
    
    Regards,
    
    Angela
    
2168.7Can not turn off BCC'sA1WS2::MANANA::PalmerTue May 13 1997 14:2610
Angela,

BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) is a functional implementation that
allows a user to send a message addressed to multilple TO:'s
and CC:'s and them not know who the BCC's it was sent to. That is
it, the customer can use BCC's or not use BCC's but it is not possilbe
to turn the functionality off or add personal notes to the BCC
recipients.

Rick
2168.8thanks againGIDDAY::BACOTThu May 15 1997 02:1816
    
    Rick,

    I explained the BCC functionality to the customer and suggested that
    it is more of a cultural issue of whether to use it or not
    They insisted that we pursue the issue with regards to customizing the 
    screen or 'disabling' the functionality altogether.  
    
    They would like to have a way to remove or modify the BCC functionality.  
    I told them I would pass the suggestion on to engineering for consideration.
     
    Thank you for your help,
    
    Angela

        local office?
