You send a message with a Compuserve Mail recipient on the BCC line. The
message arrives with the Compuserve recipient's name in the To line rather
than the BCC line.
CAUSE
This may occur because of the non-conformity to RFC822. Because the TO and
CC lines are left blank when addressing the message, the header for the
message is considered invalid and the addressee on the BCC line is moved to
the TO line to conform to RFC821.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem Microsoft Exchange Server
version 5.0.
This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for
