Use Bcc when sending email to multiple recipients to maintain the privacy of their email addresses.

Bcc stands for blind carbon copy. Bcc is used to advise a third party of the email without disclosing to the intended recipient that the email has also been sent to the third party. For example, if you wish to advise Ryan that you have emailed John and you don't want John to see that you have notified Ryan.

Bcc can also used to send a message to multiple parties without disclosing the other recipients or their email addresses. You can do this in two ways:

1. Addressing a message to yourself and filling in the intended recipients in the Bcc field.
2. Creating a mailing list. An intended recipient will receive an email addressed to them but will be unable to see the emails of the other recipients.

• Create a new message in your email client.
• Insert "Undisclosed Recipients" in the To: field, followed by your email address in "<,>" braces.
  • The To: field should look like: "Undisclosed Recipients ".
  • If you send emails to undisclosed recipients frequently, you can add your own email address to your address book with "Undisclosed" as the first and "recipients" as the last name.

Bcc is a useful tool for maintaining privacy of email addresses. With Bcc recipients cannot see the email address of the other email recipients. With To and Cc all recipients can see the email addresses of recipients in the To and Cc fields.

Be savvy and exercise some caution before clicking on that send button. Don't clicked on the wrong mailing list when sending an email and advised everybody in a large department of important dates or events. You subsequently have to send another email recalling your earlier email.
Double check that you have selected the intended recipient or mailing list and the right fields (To, Cc, Bcc) before clicking the send button. Train yourself as to how your email software management package (e.g. Outlook, Thunderbird) implements terms such as Bcc. Doing so may save you considerable embarrassment and, importantly, respect privacy obligations
