Answer #1

You don’t mention what email program you are using, but most have a ‘view headers’ option that will include the cc’d to addresses.

A sender can send things with a cc or a bcc. If they send it bcc, that stands for ‘blind carbon copy’ and the receiver can’t view those addresses.

The bcc is the method a sender should use if you want to send to a group of people, but still keep those addresses private. Like if I send something to a group of friends, but they don’t all know each other, I send it bcc so I don’t give out my friends addresses to people they don’t know.

Sometimes you can look at the original, right click over the person’s name, and ask for properties. Sometimes you can cut and paste all the CC addresses into Notepad and it’ll keep the addresses.

Are you on a PC or a Mac? If you’re using Mac’s Mail software, press command-shift-H. That should display addresses that can be displayed. It won’t work if the sender used BCC.
