To, CC and BCC

You shoshould always make sure you e-mail the right people, in the right way. the to, CC and BCC fields allow you to indicate how your message shocould be read by the people that receive it.

TheTo FieldIs for people that the message directly affects, And that you require action from. If you expecting someone to do something, they shocould Be In The to field.

It's also a good idea to include all the people you put in the to: Field in your opener line. This lets the others know who is involved in the conversation.

Hi Bill, Ted, Mary, Suzy,

If you are sending to more than four people, don't bother with this and just start with hi all or Hello team.

The to field can be used for as your addresses as you like-Some people mistakenly think the CC line is for multiple addresses.

The CC (or carbon copy) field is for people you want to know about the message, but are not directly involved.It's mainly for people that do not need to act or reply to the message, but to keep them informed.

For those of you born after the 1980's, the term "Carbon Copy" comes from when typewriters were used to write letters. you wocould put two pieces of paper in a typewriter at the same time, with a piece of carbon paper in. the letters wocould press through the carbon paper, leaving an extra copy of the text on the sheet at the back.

The CC field can be used for a number of reasons.
It keeps other people "in the loop" on certain issues (often used to keep managers up to date on issues ).
It lets people know if they are expected to take action, or if they are just being informed.
It allows you to make the receiver aware that other people know what is going on (in case you want them to take the content more seriously, or treat it as more important or urgent ).

Finally,The BCC field (blind carbon copy)Is used when you want other people to receive the message, but you don't want the other recipients to know they got it.

When people get an e-mail, they'll also see all the people in the to and CC lines-but not BCC.

One good use of BCC is when sending an e-mail to hundreds of people. you don't want them all to see each other's e-mail addresses so you use this field, rather than the to or CC lines.

To people required to take action
CC kept informed of the content, but no actions required from them
BCC receive the message without any of the other recipients knowing. Also used for larger mailings (over 50)

Another Chinese explanation is as follows:

CC is a copy of carbon copy. In the era of manual mechanical typewriter, duplicate paper can be used to print two or more copies at a time, to different people. In the Internet era, if an email needs to be sent to multiple people for reading, simply fill in the email address of the relevant personnel in the CC or CC column. For CC to multiple users, you only need to separate their addresses with commas to send them to the corresponding mailbox.
BCC comes from blind carbon copy. For some reason or for some reason, you do not want the recipient to know that you have sent this email to another person, you can put the email address of the person behind the scenes in the BCC column.

I can really understand his usefulness only after I get to work. For example, when a department a sends a notice to its subordinate Department a B c, it can send a copy to the department B C at the same level. In order to let other departments know the arrangement of their respective departments, this is often the case.

How do I hide an address when sending an email to multiple recipients?

You can use the BCC function to send an email to multiple users and hide the email addresses of each recipient. You only need to click Add BCC address to enter the email address that you do not want to display to other recipients in the BCC field of the email you have written.

If you do not want to display any email addresses to recipients, you can enter your email address in the recipient field and enter the addresses of all recipients in the BCC field.

 

Tested by yourself:

To can see other recipients in to and recipients in CC, but cannot see recipients in BCC.

The recipient in CC can see the recipient in to and other recipients in CC, but cannot see the recipient in BCC.

The recipients in BCC can see the recipients in to and CC, but cannot see other recipients in BCC.

PS: If you enter your email in to and the email of the recipient in BCC, you can see all the recipients in the emails you receive, including yourself and the recipients in BCC.

The recipient in BCC cannot see other recipients.
