Bcc on mail

The "bcc" (blind carbon copy) field in email!

When you use the "bcc" field in an email, you're sending a copy of the email to one or more recipients without including their email addresses in the "to" or "cc" fields. This means that the recipients won't see each other's email addresses, and the email will appear to come from only the sender.

Here are some key points to keep in mind when using the "bcc" field:

  1. Privacy: The main reason to use "bcc" is to maintain the privacy of the recipients. You might want to send an email to multiple people without revealing their email addresses to each other.
  2. Anonymity: "Bcc" can also be used to send an email to a large number of people without revealing their email addresses to each other. This can be useful for sending newsletters, announcements, or other types of mass emails.
  3. Security: Some people use "bcc" to send sensitive information, such as passwords or financial information, without revealing the recipient's email address to others.
  4. Limitations: Not all email providers or clients support the "bcc" field. Additionally, some email providers may have limits on the number of recipients you can include in a "bcc" field.
  5. Ethics: Be cautious when using "bcc" to send emails to a large number of people. Make sure you have permission to send emails to each recipient, and be respectful of their privacy.

To use the "bcc" field in most email clients, follow these steps:

  1. Open your email client and compose a new email.
  2. Enter the recipient's email address in the "to" field.
  3. Click on the "cc" or "bcc" button to switch to the "bcc" field.
  4. Enter the email addresses of the recipients you want to send a blind carbon copy to.
  5. Add any additional recipients to the "to" or "cc" fields as needed.
  6. Send the email.

Remember to use the "bcc" field responsibly and with caution.
