    alright

    open new mail

    click on "to"button(before the space where you right addresses

    a dialog box opens which has options for BCC

    alternatively try this

    Method 1:

    You use Outlook 2002 or Outlook 2003 and you use 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: You use Outlook 2002 or Outlook 2003 and you use 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.

    but these methods dont work in some PCS

    Send to the others' by sending BCC: and this will hide any others' email addresses you have sent to. I think BCC stands for Blind CC's, thus hiding the CC:'s. I believe this considered good email etiquette, thus not sharing others' email and exposing them to unknown spammers. In OE, the BCC:'s need to be in your Address Book, and you can access the BCC: by double-clicking CC: From my old days in Typing 101 CC stood for Carbon Copies, I believe. JoyG

    Use the bcc option on the email for the other addresses you don't want people to see.

    Who are you trying to hide them from? Each other or your boss?

    Each other - just send as a BCC then no-one who recieves the email will know who else it was sent to.

    BCC - Blind Carbon Copy.

    If trying to hide it from your boss..... good luck unless he's computer illiterate.

    Yes, put the addresses in the Bcc: (Blind Carbon Copy) field.

    type all the addresses ur sendint the email to in the "BCC" section this allows the recipient to only see his own email adress and not the others.

    I think if you BC the addresses it may hide them, dont know if you can do loads at once

    Just use the Bcc

  • 1 decade ago

    put recipients in Bcc header, rather than To.

    Put something else in To, such as your own address.

    Use the BCC (not the CC) when you send -- this means blind carbon copy.
