J. Now we have the form “IPM.Note.Print_BCC” available under “Personal Forms Library”.

K. We need to change the “Message Class” of messages. So that you can print “BCC list” along with emails.

Steps to change/update “messages class” of emails using Macro.

1. Create a New Macro, copy and paste the code mentioned below.

This Macro is copied from KB-201087 and renamed the Sub name.
 

In the Script Editor, type the following code. You do not need to enter the lines that begin with an apostrophe, since these lines are comments that are ignored when executed.

Sub Update_MessClass

' Change the following line to your new Message Class

NewMC = "IPM.Note.MyNewForm"

Set CurFolder = Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder

Set AllItems = CurFolder.Items

NumItems = CurFolder.Items.Count

' Loop through all of the items in the folder

For I = 1 to NumItems

Set CurItem = AllItems.Item(I)

' Test to see if the Message Class needs to be changed

If CurItem.MessageClass <> NewMC Then

' Change the Message Class

CurItem.MessageClass = NewMC

' Save the changed item

CurItem.Save

End If

Next

MsgBox "Done."

End Sub

2. Update NewMC value from “IPM.Contact.MyNewForm” to "IPM.Note.Print_BCC"/ name of the form that you saved in step J.
Please note: The Name should match to the form name that you saved in Step J, else Outlook will load a default and you will not be able to print BCC field.

3. Exit out of “Microsoft Visual Basic” by clicking red X on right top corner.

4. Now select the folders where you have emails.

5. Navigate to TOOLS >>> MACRO >>> Macros and click on “Update_MessClass”.

6. Macro will update the “Message Class” of all the items in the selected folder to “IPM.Note.Print_BCC”.

7. Now when you open emails from the. It will display “BCC” field and form will look similar to below screen shot.
