  • PLEASE use BCC when emailing a group of people who don't necessarily know one another--this way no one has access to another's email address unnecessarily. Protect your friends' email addresses, like you would if they were in a little black address book.

  • BCC isn't a bad thing. If you wanted to show your boss what your coworker said to you, you could always just forward your boss the whole set of emails without your coworker ever knowing. BCC is best used when you're sending an email to multiple people who may not want to have their email address SHARED with the other recipients. This ESPECIALLY applies to FORWARDING "funny", "inspirational", or "send this to 20 people NOW!" emails to your entire contacts list! (Which you really shouldn't do.)

  • Well done. I've been on a campaign for several years to educate people to use BCC when sending bulk emails. I personally don't like it when someone broadcasts my email address all over the web.It's a matter of privacy, it's that simple!

  • @CaTuber Can you explain me , why wouldnt you just use To instead of cc , since all of them see each other whats the difference??

  • unethical my arse.

    bcc has to be used when sending a CV off to many companies.

    theres nothing wrong with that.

  • Never "reply all" if you've been BCCed.

  • There are many legitimate uses for BCC as @2yerMom2 has pointed out

  • The CC is not synchronized. :(

    Check this problem please. I've seen this problem in many videos. :(
