Why would you use BCC instead of CC?

The CC field is used to refer to the concept of the carbon copy as it sends additional copies of a single email to one or more recipients. The BCC field is used when you want to send an email to multiple recipients but do not want any of them to know about the other people you have sent them to.

Is BCC really hidden?

When you place email addresses in the BCC field of a message, those addresses are invisible to the recipients of the email. Conversely, any email addresses that you place in the To field or the CC field are visible to everyone who receives the message.

What is the difference between CC and BCC?

The difference between the two is that, while you can see a list of recipients when CC is used, that’s not the case with BCC. It’s called blind carbon copy because the other recipients won’t be able to see that someone else has been sent a copy of the email.

When should you use the CC and BCC fields?

CC and BCC are two fields that you will find next to or below the “To” field when you compose an email. They are used to add individual or multiple email addresses when you want to keep people in the loop without expecting a reply.

Can Cc see replies?

If you hit ‘Reply’ then no. If you hit ‘Reply to All’ then Yes. If you open up the item in your sent items folder, you’ll see if they were CC’ed on your reply or not.

Does a BCC know they are BCC?

Figure out who you BCC’d. As you know, recipients can’t tell who you included in the BCC field, or even if you used the BCC field at all.

Can you reply all Bcc?

Yes. They can only reply to who they can “see”. Blind Carbon Copy (Bcc:) is designed to hide all recipients except those in To: or Cc:, so Reply All would only go to those, plus the original sender. Thank you.

What’s the point of Cc in email?

The CC field allows you to send a copy of the email with any recipient of your choice. In most cases, the CC field is used to keep someone in the loop, or to share the same email with them. Unfortunately, this creates a literal copy of the same email in the recipient’s inbox.
