Is it possible, utilizing the Microsoft Visual Basic
Editor in Outlook 2003, to secretly attached an email
(BC)and have that email forwarded by the user that you
sent it to, to then forward that email to another user
and have the secretly attached email remain on that same
message? I work in the IT dept for a law firm and there
is a concern that the attorney's email could be bugged
without there Knowledge.

Below is how you navigate to The visual Basic Editor.

On the Tools menu, point to Macro, and click Visual Basic
Editor.
In the Project - Project1 pane, double-click Project1,
and double-click Microsoft Outlook Objects.
Double-click ThisOutlookSession to open a code window.

Looking for an answer as soon as possible. Thank you.
 
Paranoid, are we?

Yes, it's possible to attach any kind of file -- including a saved
message -- to an Outlook message "secretly," but it's rather difficult (well
beyond basic Outlook VBA skills) and the attachment itself, except in the
case of a picture, doesn't actually do anything. It certainly can't forward
itself somewhere else.
 
Thank you for your response. Just to clarify. If some used the VB
edition to secretly attached a message or an email address to a message
and sent it to someone. If that person then forwards that message to
someone else would the secret message or email stay with that forward
message. In additon is there a way the original sender could in fact
secretly receive the forwarded message even if they are not in the to,
CC or BC fields.

Probably. A forwarded message generally contains all the content of the
original.
