How do you use BCC field?
Create a new email message or reply to or forward an existing message. If the message you’re composing opens in a new window, select Options > Bcc. If the message you’re composing opens in the Reading Pane, select Bcc from the ribbon. In the Bcc box, add recipients, compose the message, and choose Send when done.
What is the purpose of the BCC field?
BCC, which stands for blind carbon copy, allows you to hide recipients in email messages. Addresses in the To: field and the CC: (carbon copy) field appear in messages, but users cannot see addresses of anyone you included in the BCC: field.
What do BCC recipients see?
Someone on the BCC list can see everything else, including the CC list and the contents of the email. However, the BCC list is secret—no one can see this list except the sender. If a person is on the BCC list, they’ll see only their own email on the BCC list.
What do you put in to field when BCC?
As a basic rule, Bcc if the number of recipients exceeds 30, saving everyone the pain of scrolling through a million addresses. To do so, enter your own address in the “To:” field so it’s the only one shown.
What happens if you BCC everyone?
When you place email addresses in the BCC field of a message, those addresses are invisible to the recipients of the email. Conversely, any email addresses that you place in the To field or the CC field are visible to everyone who receives the message.
Can you reply all BCC?
Yes. They can only reply to who they can “see”. Blind Carbon Copy (Bcc:) is designed to hide all recipients except those in To: or Cc:, so Reply All would only go to those, plus the original sender. Thank you.
What happens if you reply all to a BCC?
When the recipient click on Reply All, they will only see and can reply to those who’s included in the Cc field and the email address included in the Bcc will be unable to receive the response from the other recipients.
What happens if someone replies all to a BCC?
When a Bcc’d recipient selects ‘Reply All’, we now see this message at the top of our reply email: “Your address was hidden when this message was sent. If you Reply All, everyone will now you received it.”
What happens if I BCC everyone?
What happens if BCC replies to all?
If all your recipients are listed under Bcc:, then none can see or be aware of the others. If any recipient clicks Reply All, the reply will NOT go to anyone they can’t see. Remember they can see any name that’s listed under To: or Cc:, so be careful with mixed addressing.
