Here’s what one of our customers recently reported: “I have done a lot of Expert Testimony over the years and I can tell you the importance of being able to show that the email was sent and that it was returned to me as a “cc” copy. “ Sorry you say you never received it but as you can see here, mine went through the internet just like the original to you and mine came back to me ” – invaluable.” What is a BCC? A BCC (also known as a blind carbon copy) allows you to send an email not just to your desired recipients, but also to one more person. The people in the To and CC fields will not know that the person on the BCC line has received a copy of the email, because the To and CC recipients have no way to identify that the email that they received originally had a BCC recipient. However, the BCC recipient of an email can easily “spill the beans” by performing a reply to all so they must be careful when replying to all, or use a tool like the. A frequent question is often asked: Can I see the list of BCC recipients?

To enable Blind Carbon Copy on a per message basis: 1. Open the Outlook Web App. Start a new message by clicking New in the menu. When the New Message window appears, click Options. Under Current Message Settings, check the Show Bcc checkbox. The Bcc field will now be visible in your message.

How to Automatically BCC All Outgoing Emails In Outlook Outlook rules allow you to automatically add a CC recipient to emails you send, but not BCC recipients. However, you have two options: The first option involves the using an Outlook template instead of creating an email directly. The template is basically a saved but not sent email, partially filled out, that resides in either one of your Outlook folders or on say, your Desktop.

The first is the. You can control exactly when a BCC is applied, either through setting the add-in to check details in the email itself for example, based on who you’re sending to, sending from, the subject, keywords in the body, etc.) or by controlling it with the “BCC on/off” button in the Outlook toolbar.
