If I send an email with BCC recipients, can they "reply all" so that everyone sees their reply?

I am sending an email to several people and others as a BCC. If one of those people who receives it as a BCC hits "reply all", will everybody see his reply? Or do BCC recipients even have the option to reply all?

The Bcc people don't have a clue who the other Bcc people are. Therefore they can't reply to everybody you've send that email to.

Thank you. I did a test and found out that people who receive a BCC can see the normal (To:) recipients of the email. If a BCC recipient hits reply all, the original sender will receive the reply and other normal recipients will get a CC. At least that's how it worked with my one test.
