Method 2: Using the "To" field with a distribution list

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:
- Open Outlook and go to the "Developer" tab.
- Click on the "Visual Basic" button to open the Visual Basic Editor.
- In the Editor, create a new module by clicking on "Insert" > "Module".
- 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
- 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.
- Save the module by clicking on "File" > "Save" (or press Ctrl+S).
- To run the macro, go back to the Outlook main window and click on the "Developer" tab.
- Click on the "Run" button next to the macro you just created.
- 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.
