We all get those emails that include a handful of email addresses of other people.  To CC emails without the recipients consent can be perceived as unethical, but you maybe wondering why people do not complain?  Well the answer to that is quite simple, a lot of people like us use outlook and since BCC is not included as default they think it is normal practice.  It is true!
Here is how to use the BCC in outlook:

First go to compose a new email ready to be sent out i.e. click on new.

Click the arrow next to the options button and from the drop down select Bcc.

Here you can see that the Bcc has automagically appeared.

You can close that email down since the bcc will always appear.  Now just send out an email out and have at least one recipient as normal and the rest as Bcc, everyone receiving the email will only see the email address of the first recipient.
