How to Send Email to the Group without Showing Recipients?

Sending emails to the group, all the members can view the email address of each user (added in the group). This may not be a great idea for some as a few users are conscious of their privacy.

So if you want to know how to send emails to a group without showing the recipient then you need to take care of the following ideas mentioned below.

• While composing the email, type “Undisclosed” recipient in the “To” field. It should be followed by your address within brackets. For example, Undisclosed recipients [email protected].
• Then, select the “Bcc” field. In case you don’t find “Bcc”, use the following shortcuts:
  • Ctrl+Shift+B for Windows PC
  • Command+Shift+B for Mac
• When done, add the recipient’s emails individually or by the group.
• Then “Send”.

This will not display the recipient’s email address when sharing the details with others in the group. So we can say, it is a great way to share messages with several people at once while taking care of everyone’s privacy.
