The differences isn't on how the alt+b command works on different systems because people have been trying it on two different email clients. For example, you are trying it with ms outlook that comes with microsoft office and it doesn't work as a toggle with your email client where others have been trying it with microsoft outlook express, the one that comes with windows. Outlook express has the command as a toggle for the bcc field, where ms outlook doesn't. so there isn't anything wrong with anybody's system you just have to be aware of what software you are using. That's all.
