Sending an email to multiple recipients blind carbon copy
The art of sending an email to multiple recipients without revealing their email addresses to each other!
To send an email to multiple recipients using Blind Carbon Copy (BCC), you can follow these steps:
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 address of the first recipient.
- In the "BCC" field (usually located below the "To" field), enter the email addresses of the additional recipients, separated by commas or semicolons.
- Make sure to check the "BCC" field is not empty, as this will send the email to all recipients, including the ones in the "To" field.
- Add any additional recipients to the "CC" field if you want to include them in the email, but not in the BCC list.
- Write your email and send it.
Method 2: Using the BCC field in a web-based email client
- Log in to your web-based email client (e.g., Gmail, Outlook.com, Yahoo Mail).
- Compose a new email.
- In the "To" field, enter the email address of the first recipient.
- Click on the "BCC" button (usually located next to the "To" field) and enter the email addresses of the additional recipients, separated by commas or semicolons.
- Make sure to check the "BCC" field is not empty, as this will send the email to all recipients, including the ones in the "To" field.
- Add any additional recipients to the "CC" field if you want to include them in the email, but not in the BCC list.
- Write your email and send it.
Tips and considerations
- When using BCC, make sure to only include email addresses that you have permission to send emails to.
- Be cautious when using BCC, as it can be considered spammy or unethical if used to send unsolicited emails.
- Some email clients may not support BCC or may have limitations on the number of recipients you can add.
- If you need to send an email to a large number of recipients, consider using a mailing list service or a mass email tool.
Remember to always follow email etiquette and best practices when sending emails to multiple recipients, including using a clear subject line, concise message, and proper formatting.
