However, the Bcc recipient sees everyone, except other Bcc contacts. Who sees what?Ĭontacts in the To and Cc control won't see contacts entered into the Bcc control. This way, you can enter the To, Cc, and Bcc contacts without enabling the Bcc control for future messages. You can add Bcc contacts on-the-fly by clicking the To or Cc control to launch the Select Names dialog, which offers a Bcc control. Once you add this line, it'll be available for all new messages until you click the option to disable it. Once the Bcc control is displayed, simply add contacts to it as you would the To and Cc controls. In Outlook 2003, click Bcc Field on the View menu. In Outlook 2007, it's in the Fields group.
Then, click Bcc in the Show Fields group, as shown in Figure A. With the message window open, click the Options tab. Adding Bcc to an Outlook messageīy default, the message window doesn't display the Bcc control, but it's easy to add. For instance, you could use the Bcc control to keep a colleagues apprised of a project's status for internal purposes (such as cross-training and staffing purposes) without bothering the client with additional contacts. It sounds secretive, and it is, but that doesn't mean you won't have upright reasons for using it. Use this control when you want to keep specific recipients hidden from the others. You'll use Outlook's Bcc control differently. For instance, you might send an out-of-office notice to your boss and copy team or project members who might benefit from knowing that you won't be available. Most people know when to use Outlook's Cc control. It was a way of keeping individuals in the loop without alerting their presence in the discussion to everyone else. When adding the BCC line, the typist removed all carbon copies but one and returned the original and single copy to the typewriter and added the BCC line(s).The other CC copies didn't contain a BCC line only the original sender and the blind copy recipient(s) knew that the blind copy was sent. Everyone following that tag received a carbon copy of the original letter. At the bottom of a letter, the typist would add a line prefaced with CC.
What's a Bcc?Ĭarbon and blind carbon copies are throwbacks to pre-computer days when we used paper rather than screens to correspond. You can use both in Outlook, but doing so effectively takes a bit of specialized knowledge. Both the Cc and Bcc are throwbacks to carbon and blind carbon copies, respectively. When you generate an email, you decide who receives it by adding contacts to the To and Cc controls.
