What is BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) in email?

BCC means Blind Carbon Copy. In the pre digital office a secretary could create a copy for someone quietly. The official recipient never saw that another copy existed.

In email. BCC does the same thing. The hidden recipients receive the message. Their addresses do not appear in the copy that everyone else sees. It is the quiet listener in the captain's cabin.
