a copy of the mail message that is sent to one or more recipients without the knowledge of the primary recipients
Using this address field in an e-mail will disguise any recipients listed in the field from other recipients. If you need to send an e-mail to many people, especially a message that is likely to get forwarded to others, it is a good idea to use the BCC field. This will prevent the recipients from having to scroll through a long list of e-mail addresses before they can read the message.
To send a copy of an email message to someone other than the person to whom the message is originally addressed without letting the addressee know.
When sending an e-mail, if you BCC someone, you are sending them a copy of your e-mail, but not allowing the recipients in the To or CC fields of your e-mail client to know that the BCC recipient(s) was sent the message as well. BCC is often used for covert company communications - such as if you are getting irritated at someone and want to let someone else in on it without alerting the party you are irritated about, or if you are sending the CEO of your company a mail telling them they are wrong about something, and want to BCC copies to your friends to gloat over it. Use BCC with caution. One of the most common uses of BCC is when sending mass e-mails. Just send the e-mail to yourself, and BCC it to the whole group you are sending to. That way, your mailing list is not known to any of the members.
