As suspected -  I just had to put this out there to satisfy due dilligence

We have witnessed an instance where a confidential email was sent and received by users who should not have done so.<br />
<br />
On checking, both the sender and the errant recipient were included in the bcc field. The sender is adamant that they did not include any bcc's, and would not bcc themselves in any case.<br />
<br />
Other than what would have to be a string of misplaced keystrokes, or a brain malfunction on the part of the sender, does anyone know of a logical reason that could explain this? <br />
<br />
We are using Exchange 2007 with Outlook 2007 as a client<br />

All helpful comments welcomed, even if it is just to indicate that there is no logical explanation, or this has/has not been witnessed elsewhere.<br />

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.
