MORE INFORMATION

By default, the Bcc box does is not displayed in a new mail message. This design decision was made to reduce screen "clutter" by removing less frequently used options from immediate view.

Method 1: Word as Your E-mail Editor

To display the Bcc box:

1. Open a new e-mail message.
2. Click the arrow next to Options to display the Options menu.
3. Click Bcc.

Method 2: Outlook as Your E-mail Editor

To display the Bcc box:

1. Open a new e-mail message.
2. On the View menu, click Bcc Field. If the Bcc Field command is not displayed on the View menu, the Personalized Menus and Toolbars option is enabled. Double-click the View menu to display the full View menu.

If you address a message as follows the message is sent to all of the people that are in both the To and Bcc boxes, but both Julie and Chris are unaware that Phillip and Patrick have also received the message.

Message recipients that are listed in the Bcc box are also not aware of each other. In this example, Phillip is not aware that Patrick has also received a copy of the message, but he does know that both Chris and Julie have received a copy of the message.
