XCLN: Additional Addresses Not Included with Resent Message (146480)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Outlook 2000
  • Microsoft Outlook 98
  • Microsoft Outlook 97
  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q146480

SUMMARY

If an Exchange Server message is not successfully sent and generates a non-delivery report (NDR), when you change the intended recipients in the To or Cc boxes of the message and then resend it, only the recipients that were on the message that was originally sent are displayed in the resulting resent message.

MORE INFORMATION

The following is an example of this behavior:
  • You send a message to an invalid recipient, noone@microsoft.com, and you receive an NDR because the intended recipient does not exist.
  • You open the NDR message and click Send Again on the Action menu. You delete the original recipient noone@microsoft.com from the To box, replace the original recipient with the valid recipient someone@microsoft.com, and then click Send.
  • The user someone@microsoft.com receives the message, but noone@microsoft.com is displayed in the To box.
This behavior is by design. If you resend an NDR, you only submit the message to the new recipient; you do not modify the original message header.
