Can I send e-mail out without name of recipient's listed?

Some e-mail providers offer the option of sending out e-mail without the names of the receipents listed but by saying undisclosed receipents in section where you list the e-mail name of who you are sending to. Is yahoo capable of doing this, and if so how do we do it.

    Hello my friend.

    It's the little mysteries that make life interesting, right? — A message to mysteriously "undisclosed recipients", for example.

    How about sending such a message yourself? It's practical, too, because you get to email a group of people without giving away their email addresses. In Yahoo! Mail, mailing "undisclosed recipients" is pleasantly easy.

    Send an Email to Undisclosed Recipients from Yahoo! Mail

    First, let's create an address book entry for easily addressing "Undisclosed recipients":

    Select Contacts in Yahoo! Mail's folder list.

    Click Add Contacts.

    Type "Undisclosed" (not including the quotation marks) under First.

    Now enter "recipients" (again excluding the quotation marks) under Last.

    Type your Yahoo! Mail address under Email:.

    Click Save.

    Now, to send an email message to "undisclosed recipients" in Yahoo! Mail:

    Press N to start a new message.

    Start typing "undisclosed" (not including the quotation marks) under To:.

    Select Undisclosed recipients (followed by your Yahoo! Mail email address) from the auto-complete list.

    Click Show BCC (next to the To: field).

    Enter all desired recipients under Bcc:.

    You can use an address book group to address multiple people easily, of course.

    Continue composing your message and eventually click Send.

    You will get a copy of the message, and your address might show up in the To: field. It's safe to delete that copy, of course.

    Sure. Just send the e-mail to yourself, and then put all the recipients in the BCC section.

    The BCC (or blind carbon copy) section will send the mail, but not show any of the addresses.

    Yeah, there's a little "CC" and "BCC" option underneath (I think??) the "To:" field. You'll want to use the "BCC" option, and if yahoo (or any other mail provider you use) bothers you about not having an email address in the "To:" field, simply put your own email address in there, to allow it to be satisfied and nobody else's email address to be revealed.

    Put the recipients names in the bcc field.

    You will need an address in the regular address line, because bcc is for Blind Copies. Just put your own email in the address line. Then add your friends on the BCC line. It will come back to you, and nobody will know who else it went to.

    its BCC for blind carbon copy meaning the recipient only see's he got the message.

    you still need to send it to someone but everyone else add in the bcc addresses

    yes if you put the recipient's names under Bcc or Blank copy. That makes it so whoever you put under Bcc won't show up to anyone but yourself. They also won't be included if you or someone else replay's to all

    Put one that will be visible in the "To" (it can be your own address, sending a copy to yourself), then all of the other addresses into the BCC field.

  • 1 decade ago

    Put your own e-mail in the To: field, and everyone else's in the BCC: field (blind carbon copy).

  • 1 decade ago

    just put the names in the BCC (blind carbon copy) Field

    if you need a to email address use yours
