SESK: Stuff Everyone Should Know · sesk.info/email-bcc

If you are BCC'd on an email and hit 'Reply All', who gets your reply?

Only the original sender and the people in the To and CC lines.

  1. Everyone, including other BCCs
  2. Only the original sender
  3. The sender and the To/CC lines ✔

Why: BCC stands for Blind Carbon Copy. Your email program cannot see the other BCC addresses, so it cannot send your reply to them.

Huh, didn't know that: If you reply all to a BCC, the people in the To and CC lines will suddenly know you were secretly copied.

The dad joke
Why did the email fail art class? It had no attachment.
