No. AFAIK.
Assuming you are a recipient and not the sender.

Nope - unless you are friends with the mail server admin, who should be able to find out.

BCC = BLIND carbon copy... so nobody can see it.

It'd kinda defeat the object of the feature if you could.

If pressed, I'd say your best approach would be social engineering rather than email hackery. Does the sender leave their PC unlocked whilst they go out for lunch?

Thought as much, just wondered if it's hackable. No big deal, just wondered how many others I am up against in a job app.

You can see the entire contents of your email, to know more you need to see the server logs as that's where the emails were broken down from one and duplicated to each recip. There's no way you can "hack" the email to get the info.

Doesn't matter how many other people are up for the job, just put in your best show and the rest is out of your hands.

I know, just curious.

Last job I got invited for a 2nd interview - 3 total for 2 jobs. Shortly before the interview they decided not to recruit at all 😕
