When sending a group email and wanting to ensure that one or several recipients cannot see the names or email addresses of the other recipients, the best way is to use the "BCC" (Blind Carbon Copy) field. By placing recipients' email addresses in the BCC field, each recipient will receive the email but will not be able to see who else the email was sent to.
Key Points:
- The "To" field lists recipients visible to everyone.
- The "CC" (Carbon Copy) field also shows recipients to everyone.
- The "BCC" field hides all included recipients from one another.
- In most email clients (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail), you can enable and use the BCC field when composing an email.
- Sometimes, for privacy or professionalism, you can put your own email or a label like "Undisclosed recipients" in the "To" field and put all actual recipients in "BCC."
This method is widely supported and used to protect recipients' privacy and avoid sharing contacts unnecessarily.
