Method 3: Using a macro

If you need to send blind carbon copy emails to a group frequently, you can create a macro in Outlook to simplify the process. Here's an example of how to do it:

  1. Open Outlook and go to the "Developer" tab.
  2. Click on the "Visual Basic" button to open the Visual Basic Editor.
  3. In the Editor, create a new module by clicking on "Insert" > "Module".
  4. Paste the following code into the module:
    Sub SendBlindCC()
     Dim olApp As New Outlook.Application
     Dim olMail As Outlook.MailItem
     Set olMail = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
     olMail.To = "[email protected]"
     olMail.BCC = "[email protected];[email protected];..."
     olMail.Subject = "Blind CC Email"
     olMail.Body = "This is a blind carbon copy email."
     olMail.Send
     Set olMail = Nothing
     Set olApp = Nothing
    End Sub
  5. Replace "[email protected]" with the email address of the group you want to send the email to, and "[email protected];[email protected];..." with the email addresses of the individuals you want to blind carbon copy.
  6. Save the module by clicking on "File" > "Save" (or press Ctrl+S).
  7. To run the macro, go back to the Outlook main window and click on the "Developer" tab.
  8. Click on the "Run" button next to the macro you just created.
  9. The macro will send the blind carbon copy email to the specified recipients.

Note: Before sending blind carbon copy emails, make sure you have the necessary permissions and comply with your organization's email policies.
