    <p>My app creates a mailto-esque link that takes the end user to a Hotmail compose screen with various attributes pre-filled. Most of the functionality I need is working: to, cc, subject, body. However, Hotmail seems to be stripping out any BCC attributes that I pass into the URL.</p> <p>For example, this link works as advertised:</p> <p><a href="http://mail.live.com/mail/EditMessageLight.aspx?n=&amp;to=bcc_for_privacy@email.com&amp;cc=add1@email.com;%20add2@email.com&amp;subject=the%20subject&amp;body=the%20body" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://mail.live.com/mail/EditMessageLight.aspx?n=&amp;to=bcc_for_privacy@email.com&amp;cc=add1@email.com;%20add2@email.com&amp;subject=the%20subject&amp;body=the%20body</a></p> <p>I get the one email address in the To field and two in the CC field. But when I try the exact same URL except substituting "bcc" for "cc", the two addresses are nowhere to be found.</p> <p><a href="http://mail.live.com/mail/EditMessageLight.aspx?n=&amp;to=bcc_for_privacy@email.com&amp;bcc=add1@email.com;%20add2@email.com&amp;subject=the%20subject&amp;body=the%20body" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://mail.live.com/mail/EditMessageLight.aspx?n=&amp;to=bcc_for_privacy@email.com&amp;bcc=add1@email.com;%20add2@email.com&amp;subject=the%20subject&amp;body=the%20body</a></p> <p>This link format is posted all over the web (along with a variation like <a href="http://mail.live.com/default.aspx?rru=compose%3f[attributes]" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://mail.live.com/default.aspx?rru=compose%3f[attributes]</a> ), but none of the various settings that I've tried actually work to bring in the BCC addresses.</p> <p>I need the BCC so that the email recipients are not given each others' email addresses. My versions of this url for regular old mailto, along with Gmail and Yahoo Mail, work perfectly. Surprise surprise.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
