How to send mail to undisclosed recipients
The classic "blind carbon copy" (BCC)!
To send an email to undisclosed recipients, you can use the "BCC" field in your email client. Here's how:
Method 1: Using the BCC field in your email client
- Open your email client (e.g., Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail).
- Compose a new email.
- In the "To" field, enter the email addresses of the people you want to send the email to, but do not include the recipients' names.
- Click on the "BCC" field (usually located below the "To" field).
- Enter the email addresses of the undisclosed recipients in the "BCC" field.
- Add any additional recipients to the "To" field if needed.
- Write your email and click "Send".
Method 2: Using the "BCC" option in Gmail
- Log in to your Gmail account.
- Compose a new email.
- Click on the "To" field and select "BCC" from the dropdown menu.
- Enter the email addresses of the undisclosed recipients in the "BCC" field.
- Write your email and click "Send".
Method 3: Using the "BCC" option in Outlook
- Open Outlook and compose a new email.
- Click on the "To" field and select "BCC" from the dropdown menu.
- Enter the email addresses of the undisclosed recipients in the "BCC" field.
- Write your email and click "Send".
Important notes:
- When you use the BCC field, the recipients' email addresses will not be visible to each other.
- Some email clients may not support BCC or may have limitations on the number of recipients you can add to the BCC field.
- Be cautious when using BCC, as it can be used to send spam or phishing emails. Always use BCC responsibly and only for legitimate purposes.
