How to Find the BCC Field in Outlook Express
The BCC field of your email program stands for "blind carbon copy." This feature is necessary when you wish to send one email to multiple email addresses while preserving the privacy of those you are addressing. A recipient cannot see the email addresses of the other people included on the message. In many email programs, including Microsoft's Outlook Express, the BCC field is hidden and you have to change a setting to make it visible.
