What is the BCC field relating to hiding e mail addresses on multiple addressed ones?
The BCC. Is a blink courtesy copy.


This means you can copy someone on the email but no one will see that you sent it to that person.





If you send one email to a few people each receiver will see who all you sent it to. If you put someones email address under BCC no one will be able to see this email address since you "blind" courtesy copied it.
Reply:BCC is a blind carbon copy.. The email is sent to the address you put in this field, the same as a CC (carbon copy), except that no one in the list of addresses you are sending will be able to see that you'd sent the mail to the BCC addressee.





When you are composing the e-mail, you'd see the address field on the top, with CC field below it, and then the BCC field below it. If they are not there, then you should be able to see some option like "Add CC" and "Add BCC" below the address field. Clicking them will show you those fields.





Normal email etiquette is that in the address or "send to" field, you add the email addresses of those who you are directly addressing or those who need to "act" on what you have said in the mail.





The CC field should have the names of those who need to be informed of your communication with the people you have included in the "send to" list.





The BCC field is used when there is a possibility that someone might misinterpret your intentions of copying the mail to this person, or if you want that person to monitor without being visible, or if you simply don't want others to know that you mailed this person.
Reply:it stands for blind carbon copy. it means that there are other copies of what you got that are going to other people, but that the other peoples names are not being shown to you.
Reply:I don't quit understand your question. But will answer to what I think you may be getting at. The BCC field is to hide all e-mail addresses in group mailing.





Reply: You can show the address of the person you are replying too. Or, you can send the message to yourself and only your address will show.





Sending your own message: If you want to send a group mail out you can do the same as above.





It serves to protect peoples privacy. It is a show of courtesy by not sending out your friends addresses to people they don't know or have on their own mailing list.
Reply:We use BCC at work. We put the employee's email address in the BCC list so they can't see who else gets the message, or, where it came from.
Reply:BCC stands for a blind copy (or, as it is derived from the days of typing with carbon paper to make copies, Blind Carbon Copy)





If you put someone in this field of an email then the people in the TO: or CC: fields cannot see that you have sent the email to this other person.





I use it quite a lot when sending to a large group of friends so people can't accidentally (or deliberately) do that annoying 'Reply to All' thing where people who don't know them end up getting their reply to me!!





I also use it at work quite a bit for large invite groups, especially for an event that might be a bit sensitive or political so people cant go through the lists to see who has or hasn't been invited.





Hope that answers your (slightly confusingly worded) question!
Reply:'Blink Courtesy Copy' !!?? mwahhh ha ha ha ha ahahaha.





Blind Carbon Copy.
Reply:BCC - Blind Carbon Copy





This feature will hide email addresses from other recipients in the To: or CC: fields. Occasionally if you are forwarding emails and think someone on your list would appreciate not having their email address being shared - you can put their email address in this field.





If you don't see this option in your email window - see if you have an address book option in your email compose window. In Yahoo! Mail Beta, the option for blind carbon is not shown (for me) all the time. There is a link to click at the end of the To: field - Show BCC. This will open the field for you to input those addresses.





Hope this helps. Good luck.
