(BCC) An electronic mail header which listsaddresses to which a message should be sent, but which willnot be seen by the recipients.Bcc is defined in RFC 822 and supported by most e-mailsystems. A normal, non-blind "CC" header would be visible toall recipients, thus allowing them to reply to each other aswell as to the sender. According to RFC 822, the addresseslisted in a BCC header are not included in the copies of themessage sent to the recipients. RFC 822 says BCC addressesmay appear in the copy sent to "BCC" recipients themselves(though this would be unusual).
