∙ 7y agoBlind Carbon Copy started with typing on manual typewriters. A piece of carbon paper (8 & 1/2 by 11 inches) was inserted between two blank sheets of paper. The typewriter keys struck on the surface of the top sheet, and made a "copy" on the 2nd sheet. The original copy was sent out to the recipient, and the "copy" was kept.
If you put a sheet of carbon between pages 1 and 2, and another between pages 2 and 3, you would have 1 original and 2 copies. You could keep 1 copy and send a copy to a 3rd person without the original recipient knowing. This meant the recipient was "blind" about this extra communication going to a 3rd party.
With computers, you can include a list of people to receive the same email--- without any of them knowing.

Hi Its not BBc in emails .Its BCc.It means Blind Carbon Copy. The receiver of the email does not know to who else you have sent the email if you put it in BCC.

This is how Bcc is used: recipients listed in the Bcc: field will not be seen by any other addressees (those listed in the To: and Cc: fields).

What do you mean by Bcc and ccc in email?
CC is short for carbon copy. BCC is short for blind carbon copy.The reason BCC is called a "blind" carbon copy is that, as opposed to CC, BCC recipients of an email are not indicated to anyone, including other BCC recipients.Therefore, if you send an email to person A, with person B and C in CC and person D and E in BCC, person B will see that the email was sent to person A, B, and C, but will not see D or E's names.Likewise, neither person D nor E sees each other's names on the recipient list.The manual that I read said that BCC is good for "secret guests" of a party.
What does Bcc mean when sending emails?
BCC means Blind Carbon Copy. Any emails addresses you enter into the BCC field will receive a copy of the email; however, this list will be concealed, so the original recipient of your email won't know it was copied to the people in the BCC list.CC means Carbon Copy, if using this field (as opposed to BCC), the recipients will see who else was copied on the email/ message.It means "blind carbon copy".If you are sending to multiple people none of the people will know who else you are sending it to.;)

How do you use Bcc in sending email messages?
BCC stands for Blind Carbon Copy. When you use CC you let all the e-mail receivers know who received a copy of the e-mail. When you use BCC, the members of the BCC group are not revealed to the other people who receive the e-mail. If you receive an e-mail that shows the only recipient as the sender, it probably means that your e-mail address was included on the BCC line.
