Blind Carbon Copy on Email

If you have need to cc someone on an email that you are sending, but you don't want others receiving the email to know that this other person will be getting it too, you can BCC them. BCC stands for Blind Carbon Copy.

This also comes in handy when you are emailing class news out to parents, but you don't want all of the parents' email addresses showing for everyone to see. Put them all in the BCC field

Here's how:

• Open the message that you want to send.
• Click on View
• Click on BCC Field (you may have to expand the menu to see it--do this by either waiting a few seconds, or clicking on the arrows at the bottom of the menu.)
• Then type the name of the secret recipients in the BCC field.

The question I've had before when doing this was that if someone were to reply to all, would it go to the people that were BCC'ed? And the answer is no. Your recipients can only reply to you and those who are in the TO or CC field, but not to anyone who was Blind Carbon Copied.
