BCC box

What do you mean by putting "BCC" to all messages ? - do you want the BCC box to be there when you launch OE >Create ? If so, it's View>All Headers. It should not change again unless you uncheck it.

I use bcc all the time in Outlook express. Instead of clicking ''to'' I click ''bcc''. I know of no way to do that automatically.

Send a copy to yourself...

....via automatically putting your hotmail address to BCC by default ? Hmmm...if you can get into the source code of Outlook, maybe possible. If not, then that is not possible. The closest you can do maybe via a Batch file or VBA, but then you still have to click at something. If it is only a copy that you want, then Bob has the answer.

Bcc for Outlook, Outlook Express & Windows Mail

There are some shareware third party add-on for Outlook that do what you want. Search by words: Outlook+Automatic+BCC in your browser.
I found only one plug-in for OE but it's for money too.
