Vanity: Blind Carbon Copy

Posted on 02/21/2009 8:30:12 PM PST by Blogger

Question for Computer Geeks.

If someone blind carbon copies you on an email, is there any way that the person receiving the email can dig into that email to see the names blind copied?

Here is how you do it:

Step 1 - Go to the home of the person who sent you the e-mail.

Step 2 - Open up their e-mail system and go to "Sent Mail"

Step 3 - Find the e-mail in question and look at the bcc: entries.

Piece of cake. ;)

Not usually, but if the email server is configured incorrectly (or badly programmed) it could happen.

If you're really interested, technically, the BCC header is not standardized under RFC 2822, so it's possible that a particular implementation may be flawed and could "leak" the information.

So under certain circumstances, it can happen.

Yes. Helps a lot. :/

Have a friend who blind CCd me on a letter to Obama that I would rather not have been blind CCd concerning. She’s on her own on this one, and I am kinda scratching my head wondering “what was she thinking?!?”

Wondering if they (The White House) could see the CC.

If you had access to the mail server that sent the message, you may be able to see the BCC list. There is no way for the person receiving a BCC message to see who else it was sent to.

Well, that was just dumb. I think some people don’t realize what we are dealing with here.

Since this is one of the many paranoia threads that we will be seeing here in the next few years let me ask for a definition affirmation.

I think that being arrested by city police (with no charges) transported to a city coliseum with thousands of other Americans and held for three days by national guard troops and interrogated by the FBI, fits the description of having been held in an interment camp, at least as casual conversation goes, do you guys agree?

Don’t know that I would say ‘camp’, but certainly internment.

Yeah, camp might be the sticker, but then again it seems as close as we have been since WWII and then perhaps closer than anything else in our entire history besides the WWII experience.

Yes, and I realize that “internment center” fills the bill instead of “internment camp”.

See my new tagline.

When did that happen? New Orleans? I’m confused.

“When did that happen? New Orleans? I’m confused.”


That wasn’t New Orleans, those people were victims that needed help and were taken to or showed up at places to be fed and housed.

I’m talking about Washington DC 1971. Imagine arrests of over 12,000 Americans and the 82nd Airborne and U.S. Marines in full force by the thousands.

Imagine this “At one point, so many soldiers and marines were being moved into the area from bases along the East Coast that troop transports were landing at the rate of one every three minutes at Andrews Air Force Base in suburban Maryland, about 15 miles from the White House.”

And no charges were ever filed? Being 1971, was this part of the protests for Vietnam?

Read about the Stop the Government Protests in DC in 1971.

You must be thinking deja vue all over again.
