Hi,

Apologies if this is a repeat question - i looked thru this group but
couldn't find the solution.

I'm set up a redirect rule to redirect mail from my exchange server to
a gmail account. However, when i open the message in gmail, it looks
like the message was sent only to me - all the other recipients don't
show up. Now this is fine for most cases, but sometimes I'd like to
know who else the mail was sent to.

Is there any way to change the redirect rule to include the information
about other recipients ?

I'm using Outlook 2000.


I don't remember a "redirect" rule in Outlook 2000. I have Outlook 2002 at home (where I am now) and Outlook 2003 at work and there is no redirect rule. There is a forwarding rule but then you are *forwarding* a copy of your e-mails to the other account and not simply having Outlook act as a server (for which it was not designed) to be another hop to route your incoming mails to yet another mail server.

When forwarding a mail, whether it be to yourself, a different recipient, or to a spam reporting service, make sure you forward as an ATTACHMENT. If you forward inline (i.e., the original mail is added to the body of the new message) then all the headers are lost from the original mail. If you forward as an attachment then the recipient gets a .msg file that they can open to see the original mail rather than the sliced up and truncated version if forwarded inline.

However, Outlook is still a lousy e-mail client for forwarding messages. While it will retain Subject, To, From, and some other headers in the forwarded attachment of the original message, it still strips out other essential headers, like Received. You might want to rethink using Outlook as a server to forward your mails to another account. You won't get everything in the forwarded copy that was in the original copy.

You might also find that you are violating company policy. I sincerely doubt that they want all inbound mails to you then sent outside their domain and outside their control to a Gmail account. I doubt the Exchange admin will setup an auto-forward of your inbound mails so a copy gets sent to your Gmail account. E-mails sent to you and from you using company resources are NOT your property. Use a different service for your personal e-mails than for your company e-mails.
