Default Fake e-mail ?

Hi ow learned one's,
just a quick question ref e-mail.
Using OE 6, I had a e-mail. In the file properties of the mail, I read this
*** being my e-mail address. The question is as this mail was bcc'd to me,
why does my e-mail address appear like this ?. I was under the impression
that bcc mail did not show who else got it, or is it a fake mail. (I am
playing in a game which can generate fake messages by players).

X-Envelope-To: *******


Much thanks to anyone who can help with the question.

You should not be able to see "X-Envelope-To:". It should be stripped by
the news server. It's part of the envelope that is necessary to get the
message to you.

Thanks, so does that mean that the player who sent it, used an old mail of
mine to him, but opened it in notepad and changed the info behind the mail
(just like I did to someone else in the game) ?, or does it mean that my isp
is playing up, and having mail problems i.e. not stripping the x to?.

The sender was using a yahoo account, so is not sending via his own isp
account ( if that makes any difference)
