Both CC and BCC send copies of an email to additional recipients. The main difference is that CC recipients are visible to others, while BCC recipients are not. CC’d individuals will receive all additional responses to the email, assuming the “Reply All” function is used.
What does BCC mean in email?
blind carbon copy
Bcc stands for blind carbon copy which is similar to that of Cc except that the Email address of the recipients specified in this field do not appear in the received message header and the recipients in the To or Cc fields will not know that a copy sent to these address.
What is BCC used for?
Bcc, or “blind carbon copy,” lets you add multiple recipients to an email — in other words, lets you send an email to multiple people at once. However, when they receive the email, none of these Bcc recipients will know who else received the email via Bcc.
What happens if BCC replies to all?
If all your recipients are listed under Bcc:, then none can see or be aware of the others. If any recipient clicks Reply All, the reply will NOT go to anyone they can’t see.
Can CC see replies?
The CC will only see the reply if you leave them attached to your reply.
What are the benefits of using BCC in emails?
Using the BCC field to send an email message to a large group of people has a number of benefits, including: The privacy of email addresses is protected in the original message. Recipients will receive the message, but won’t be able to see the addresses listed in the BCC field.
Do CC get replies?
Basically, when you just click on the Reply button, then the one who will get the reply is only the sender. However, if you click on the Reply All button, then the ones inside the CC will as well receive the reply. If you do not want someone to receive the reply, you can put him/her inside the BCC field instead.
What happens if you reply all to a BCC?
Re: Does “Reply all” send replies to BCC recipients? No. Reply All will only be able to reply to the e-mail addresses sent along with the e-mail in the headers. BCC addresses are never sent to the recipient in the e-mail headers.
