1) I disagree. I think a lot of people like to view headers. I certainly
do.

2) I was talking about BCC: in the preview pane. Even if I double-click on
a message I sent using BCC:, I can't view BCC:.

3) If the news reader was identical to the one in OE 6, it would be a good
one. Granted it should only be available if the user has added an newsgroup
account.

1) Outlook was used in a corporate environment where most users don't need
to see the internet header. In fact, when receive mail from other users on
your exchange server, there is no header to view. Even with some 50% of
users using internet accounts, few need to see the header.
You can use VBA to copy the header without opening the options dialog or get
a program like pocketknife peek (freeware) to view headers easier.

2) you can add the BCC field to the view - it needs to be visible in the
message before sending (at least with word as editor) - them open the
message to see it. You can also add the BCC field to the view. This works
best when the preview pane is turned off on the sent items folder.
3) It'll never happen. Outlook is a poor substitute for a real newsreader,
but if you really want to try, there are several addins you can use.
