BCC Property

Syntax

Property BCC As String

HRESULT get_BCC(BSTR* pVal);HRESULT put_BCC(BSTR Val);

Remarks

This property is also available as the urn:schemas:mailheader:bcc and urn:schemas:httpmail:bcc fields.

The string in the BCC property can represent a single recipient or multiple recipients. Each address in the list must be a full messaging address, for example,

"User" <UserAddress@example.com>;

where User is the friendly name and <UserAddress@example.com> is the actual e-mail address.

Commas separate multiple recipients in the list:

"User1" <User1@example.com>, "User2" <User2@example.com>, "User3" <User3@example.com>

Commas are not used as separators when enclosed in double quotation marks, such as:

"Dan K. Bacon, Jr." <dan@example.com>

The friendly name must include the quotation marks in the property; thus, when setting this property, you will need to use double quotation marks or other appropriate techniques to include them.

The following are examples of setting this property:

iMsg.To = " ""Dan K. Bacon, Jr."" <dan@example.com>, ""Brenda Diaz"" <brenda@example.com>"

in Microsoft® Visual Basic®, or

pMsg->put_To(_bstr_t("\"Dan K. Bacon, Jr.\" <dan@example.com>, \"Brenda Diaz\" <brenda@example.com>"));

in C++.

In keeping with the privacy intended by blind copies, BCC is regarded as an envelope property rather than a message property. Accordingly, the corresponding header field and its contents are removed when the message is delivered, and you should always expect the BCC property to be empty on a received message.

The default value of BCC is an empty string.
