    Send it to yourself in the TO box

    Send it to everyone else in the BCC box (Bcc is blank carbon copy, they will all get it but not see the addresses.)

  • You actually don't need to add yourself to the TO part you can simply add everyone to the BCC.

    That depends on which email client you are using - some will simply not let you send a message without anything in the To: field - hence Chr15's workaround for that.

    In the days when they were carbon copies, the B was for blind - that is the fact that someone was receiving a carbon copy was not seen by the other recipients.

    Oh, and some people used scc rather than bcc. The S was for silent.
