Outlook – Can other people see the Outlook Contact Groups

contactsemailexchangemicrosoft-outlookmicrosoft-outlook-2010

I am using MS Outlook, and we use MS Exchange for handling email. If I create a Contact Groups in Outlook of a bunch of people I regularly email together, and I use this to address an email, will all the recipients (also using Outlook on top of Exchange) see that group name in the "To" field when they receive the email? Or will they just see a list of their addresses?

We have some all-company Contact Groups, kind of like "All employees," "All Chicago employees," etc, and I see these in the "To" field when they are used. But does this apply to Contact Groups that I make for my own use as well?

This also depends on the server configuration: is it MS Exchange? If it's in an Exchange server, the company or users WITHIN the Exchange server will see the group name, and be able to expand it. If it is going to another domain not managed by that same Exchange server, it will show the effects as what Dennis has posted above.
