I have started messing about with the bcc field in outlook as sometimes it could be useful i think.
So last night i was trying to send myself mails to test it out. I was putting say 3 different addresses in the bcc field (all my own) and sending them off to my self. Well they arrive fine but when they arrive they have the mail address i sent them from in the from and to field when i view the message in my inbox.
This could be hard to explain so i've done a couple of screenshots:
<<for the purposes of this i am sending from me@me.com to 3 of my other email addresses (person@domain.com.......etc)>>
here is the mail before i send it (obviously i've changed the emails for false ones).

and here is what i see in my inbox after its been received. i would have expected to see the senders name as it is in the from field, but in the to field i expected to see person@domain.com - and in the other mails the other appropriate addresses (person@anotherdomain.com).

is this just the way bcc works or is outlook acting up??
can anybody help me out.
thanks
