| Sometimes I want to send a carbon copy to someone
without the recipient knowing that I've done so. I might, for
example, want the boss to be informed of a communication without
anyone else's knowledge. This is called a blind carbon copy.
Actually, on the internet it is the preferred method of sending a message to multiple recipients. You see in a normal carbon copy the email addresses of everyone in the "To:" and "Cc:" fields is in included in the message. This means all of those email addresses are available to spammers and viruses. Any email address specified in the "Bcc:" field does NOT show up in the message or the message header.
In Outlook 2000: The field is hidden by default. In order to show the field, you must select the "Bcc Field" element from the "View" menu. This will cause Bcc to be shown.

But how do
you use the "Bcc:" field? Where is it? 
As you can
see from the sample message to the right, the "Bcc:" field is now
displayed and may be entered. Simply type in the email addresses in
exactly the same manner as with the "To:" and "Cc:" fields.
