Launch Outlook. From the Outlook ribbon, click the Home tab, then New Email. A new message window appears. The BCC field will now display in your message header. In the BCC field, type the email addresses of your recipients. Type your own address in the To field. Launch the built-in macOS email client and click New. The New Message window will display. Can their identities not be revealed to your other friends? Are your friends so famous that your other friends will stalk them if they know their email addresses?
Bcc'ing in this instance can make you look insecure and offend your friends. Insecure because it seems like you want to keep who you are inviting to the party a secret, because A it'a a big party with a good number of losers invited, or B it's a small party with few people invited, but some of them are definitely losers.
Don't try to pull the wool over your friends' eyes! It's nice to see who else is invited to a party because then you know how many losers will be there! Bcc'ing on an invite email makes intimate events among friends seem like corporate events. However, if the event in question really is more like a conference than an intimate gathering you rented a bar, hall, ship, etc.
Bcc'ing is fine since once you've got people on an email -- even listing their names isn't going to make it seem personal.
Better not to annoy invitees with a huge list of email addresses. Another time not to use Bcc in personal correspondence is when sending a group email life announcement like "Yippee! Got the job! There is a difference between a mass email which is generally informational and spans a wide range or contacts friends, coworkers, family and a group email, which usually has more personal content and is being sent to people who, while they may not necessarily know each other, exist within the same social realm.
When you Bcc a group on emails containing life announcements, it throws people off because the first reaction to an email from a friend is warm, fuzzy inclusion, a feeling that is killed as soon as they open the message to find it's to "undisclosed recipients.
If these addresses are distributed among the To , Cc , and Bcc boxes, remember that the names in the Bcc box will count toward your total limit. Ask your email service provider about the policies for your account. Keep the recipient list private Bcc can help you to be respectful of others' privacy by keeping them in the loop without disclosing their identities. For example, if you send a job announcement to multiple people, you may want to use Bcc to keep the identities of the potential job seekers private.
With mail merge, you can quickly send the same email message to individual recipients. Mail merge allows you to do a mass mailing with just one name in the To box of the message. Help curb a conversation that has gone wild Here is one situation in which using Bcc for a distribution list or a large number of names can be helpful. Suppose you send a message with a large number of people listed in the To box.
The discussion starts to get lively, and everyone wants to give an opinion. The number of messages increases drastically because many recipients reply with the sentiment "please stop replying all to this message. One way to curb the use of the Reply to All option is to respond and put the name of the distribution list in the Bcc box.
For example, you can click Reply , put only your name in the To box, move the distribution list to the Bcc box, and write a message similar to the following:. If you have further comments, please respond to me directly. I have put this distribution list in the Bcc box to cut down on the reply-to-all messages. Tip: If you are sending a message to other people who use Outlook, you can prevent them from using the Reply to All option altogether.
For more information, see Preventing Reply All. Reduce spam Although people who send junk email or spam may like to use Bcc, they won't like it if you use it. If you hide the recipients' names by listing them in the Bcc box, no one will be able to copy the recipients' email addresses from your messages. Customize view. Show, hide, and view the Bcc blind carbon copy field.
Create a new email message or reply to or forward an existing message. Turn off Bcc You can turn off the Bcc box for future messages at any time. Tips: If there are more recipients, you'll see the number of recipients and more.
