- Begin composing your email.

- Rather than put all of the email addresses in the To or CC areas, click on Add Bcc.

-

BCC stands for Blind Carbon Copy

.

- A BCC recipient is not revealed to anyone else who received the email.

- In this way you can send an email to 100 people and each will think they were they only one to receive it.

- If that troubles you for some reason you can disclose the fact in your email.

- You can use BCC anytime you want a message to go to someone without other recipients knowing it.
