    Auto BCC on all messages being sent, but visably be able to see the BCC

    Hello,

    I have a request from the new president of our company to have his email automatically BCC on every message he sends (fwds, replys, new e-mails, the whole gig). While i've found an option that allows it to do it on the back end as he clicks sends, he stated he actually wants to "see" the BCC in the e-mail before sending.

    I've googled and googled, and it does not look like this is possible (maybe without the use of some code?) but I don't want to go back to him with that answer until i've exhausted all expert opinions - btw, he mentioned his old office had it set up for him that way, but i have no clue what version of office he was using.

    Regarding: office 2010 or 2013

    The code i was able to get working, but does on the back end:

    Is he using outlook for email, if so, is the BCC field not showing up at all on the emails before he sends it?

    The bcc field is visible, however when he hits the send button the field remains blank instead of showing his email address there.

    It does work though, after sending any email the macro places his email in the bcc field silently and it does get sent back to him (so redundant)

    Edit: yes he is using outlook 2010, but will be upgrading to 2013 in the near future, the code posted above works for both, but isn't to his satisfaction

    I don't think it will show because the code is set to run after he hits send. Maybe screen updating set to true??

    That's correct, it is set to run after sending, I was wondering if there was a solution that would do it on all messages visably that would work like the attached code above.

    Screen updating doesn't seem to affect it since it doesn't take place until the user hits send.

    Maybe with a .Display statement, but I don't know the syntax for it.

    Doesn't work, I had initially tweaked with it to try, I think the solution will exist outside of the existing code since the existing code doesn't take action until the send button is clicked, applying any .display would basically loop itself indefinitely, but just fails to run.

    Maybe there is a way to leave the email open in outlook until after it is sent, some sort of option/setting? Other than that, I am at a loss.

    Try something like this untested code in ThisOutlookSession.

    Create a template file or edit his Normal template to include his email address in the BCC field. This way it will be there when he opens the template to start his message.

    Re: Auto BCC on all messages being sent, but visably be able to see the BCC

    This worked with some very minor tweaks, I'm going to consider it solved and below is the final code that i used if anyone else comes across this and wants to know how to do it.

    Automatically BCC a specific e-mail address or Automatically BCC your e-mail address on e-mails and visually see the bcc address before sending.

    I'm sure the code below can be cleaned up a bit, but that's not my concern, just posting for whoever else needs it.
