BCC

[George Schneider]

Here's the question that was posed to m. Is there a way to send out a mass
email without alerting all the senders to who was included on the email. The
situation we want to avoid is putting out there the receipents email to ohter
receipents. We are trying to be sensitive to privacey of the receipients.
Would just doing a BCC accomplish this.

Hi,
Yes it would, that's the BCC purpose.
Rgrds,

That's exactly what the Bcc feature is for. No one but the sender is aware of
who else the message was sent to. Even the recipients do not see their own
e-mail address (alternate method below resolves this).

Note that you may be limited by your ISP as to how many names can be in a mass
mailing. It's best to check with them first.

An alternative approach would be to use a mail-merge method. In this method each
recipient gets a personal message with no indication that anyone else received
one except if noted in the text of your message.

Look up mail merge in Outlook's help for details.

Hello George,

First, thanks David and Dave for the great experience sharing.

George, as Dave said, that is just the usage of BCC feature.

Bcc
====
Bcc is shorthand for Blind carbon copy. If you add a recipient's name to
this box in a mail message, a copy of the message is sent to that
recipient, and the recipient's name is not visible to other recipients of
the message. If the Bcc box isn't visible when you create a new message,
you can add it.

For more information about BCC, please see the article below:

You can also do this using mail merge as David suggested. To do a mail
merge to send e-mail, you can refer to the following article:

Hope this helps.

If anything is unclear or you need further assistance, please feel free to
let us know. We are glad to be of assistance.

Have a nice day!
