When should BCC be used in email?
‘Blind carbon copy’ is a way of sending emails to multiple people without them knowing who else is receiving the email. Any emails in the BCC field will be invisible to everyone else in the To and CC fields. BCC should only be used when it isn’t a personal email and you want to keep the receipts email private.
Does BCC send the email?
If you add a recipient’s name to the Bcc (blind carbon copy) box in an email message, a copy of the message is sent to the recipient that you specify. Any recipients added to the Bcc box will not be shown to any other recipients who receive the message.
Should you use BCC on all email?
For security and privacy reasons, it is best to use the Blind Carbon Copy (BCC) feature when sending an email message to a large number of people. When you place email addresses in the BCC field of a message, those addresses are invisible to the recipients of the email.
Can you tell if someone has been BCC email?
As you know, recipients can’t tell who you included in the BCC field, or even if you used the BCC field at all. To see who you BCC’d in a previous email, just open the Sent mail folder and open the message. You’ll see the BCC field preserved for future reference.
What happens if you reply all to a BCC email?
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.” and all of the other Bcc’d recipients are Bcc’d with the reply email.
Do BCC recipients know they are BCC?
Recipients cannot find out if someone else was BCC’d in an email. However, the sender can always go back to their sent message folder and find out who they BCC’d.
What happens when you BCC everyone?
Bcc stands for “blind carbon copy,” and is a way of sending emails to multiple people without them knowing who else is getting the email. Any email addresses in the Bcc field will be invisible to everyone else on the email. If you need to copy your boss on an email, copy your boss, but don’t pretend they aren’t copied.
What does BCC and CC mean in email?
BCC means blind carbon copy and it does the same thing as CC with a slight difference. Recipients that are added in the BCC field get a copy of the email but other recipients don’t see their name in the recipient’s list. As far as they know, they’re the only person to get an email.
Can a bcc field be used to CC someone?
For example, if you have a mailing list with a large number of people, you could include them in the BCC field. No one would be able to see anyone else’s email address. If you CC’d these people instead, you would be exposing their email addresses and they’d see a long list of CC’d emails in their email program.
Where do I find BCC on my Gmail?
Note that BCC recipients cannot see each other either. Think of it as a stealth mode CC. If you’re using Gmail, BCC is easy to find. To the right of the “To” line of an email draft, you’ll find options for CC and BCC.
What happens if you use BCC on a boss?
BCCing doesn’t make this any better; you’re still being petty, and the boss will still see you as spiteful. Again, if there’s a big enough issue that you need someone higher up to get involved, contact them directly and be straightforward and polite about it. Including an inappropriate eavesdropper.
