In the context of correspondence, blind carbon copy (abbreviated Bcc:) refers to the practice of sending a message to multiple recipients in such a way that conceals the fact that there may be additional addressees from the complete list of recipients. This concept originally applied to paper correspondence and now also applies to email. [1]
In some circumstances, the typist creating a paper correspondence must ensure that multiple recipients of such a document not see the names of other recipients. To achieve this the typist can:
  • Add the names in a second step to each copy, without carbon paper
  • Set the ribbon not to strike the paper, which leaves names off the top copy (but may leave letter impressions on the paper)
With email recipients of a message are specified using addresses in any of these three fields:
  • To: Primary recipients
  • Cc: Carbon copy to secondary recipients—other interested parties
  • Bcc: Blind carbon copy to tertiary recipients who receive the message without anyone else (including the To, Cc, and Bcc recipients) seeing who the tertiary recipients are.
