What is it - Undisclosed recipients, and what is the essence of this method? When performing a mass mailing, the sender does not want all recipients in the list to see who else this letter was sent to. It looks at least unprofessional. Some people think that the only way to solve this problem is to send an individual email to each recipient, but this takes too much time. Fortunately, there is an easier way. This is sending emails using the Undisclosed recipients method (translation - "undisclosed recipients"). Let's take a closer look.
An alternative to this is to send an email to multiple recipients with all their addresses in the "To" (to) or "Cc" (blind carbon copy) fields. Not only does this look messy to everyone the message was sent to, it also exposes everyone's email address.
How does the Undisclosed recipients method work and what is it?
Sending an email to undisclosed recipients is as easy ashow to put all their addresses in the "Bcc" field (blind copy) so that they are not visible to each other. This process includes sending an email called Undisclosed recipients so that everyone can clearly see that the message was sent to several people whose identities are unknown.
Undisclosed recipients translated into Russian sounds like "undisclosed recipients". Sending email to such recipients protects everyone's privacy. It also makes mail look professional.
How to send an email to undisclosed recipients
In order to understand how to make Undisclosed recipients mailing, you need to follow the following rules:
- Create a new message in your mail client.
- In the "To" field, enter Undisclosed recipients, and then specify the email address in. It's not hard. For example, Undisclosed recipients.
- If this doesn't work, you should create a new contact in your address book. You need to name it Undisclosed recipients, and then enter your email address. This is done in the text field of the address.
- In the "Bcc:" field, enter all the email addresses to which the message should be sent, separated by commas. If these recipients are already contacts, you can simply start typing their names and the program will automatically fill in these entries.
- If the "Bcc:" field is not displayed in the default mail program, you should open the settings and find this option so that it can beenable.
- Compose the rest of the message as usual, adding a subject and writing the body of the message, then send it.
- If you need to do this often, it's best to set up a new contact called Undisclosed recipients that contains your own email address. Next time, it will be easier to send a message to a contact already in your address book.
While these general instructions work in most email programs, slight variations may exist.
Beware Bcc
Now that it has become clear what it is - Undisclosed recipients and how to use this method, it should be noted a significant difference between this method of mass mailing and using the "blind copies" function.
Viewing undisclosed recipients in the "To:" field of an email is a clear indication that other people have received the same email, but there is no way to find out who it is.
To understand this, you need to consider whether you want to send your email to only one recipient (not undisclosed recipients), or just hidden recipients. The problem that arises here is that the original or any other Bcc recipient will know that other people have also been sent a letter that was thought to be private. This can damage the sender's reputation and make the recipient feel uncomfortable.
How will they know about it? Everything is simple. When one of the blind copy recipients pressesthe "reply all" button in the email, that person's identity is revealed to all recipients. Even though no other "Bcc" names are revealed, the very existence of the hidden list is revealed.
A lot can go wrong here if any of the recipients respond with derogatory remarks about someone on the blind carbon list. This all-too-easy mistake can cost an employee their job or ruin a relationship with an important client.
So the point is to use Bcc lists with care and broadcast your existence as Undisclosed recipients. The second option is to simply indicate in the email that it was sent to other people too, and that no one should use the "reply all" option.
Features of use
In trying to understand what Undisclosed recipients is and how to use it, it should be understood that this sending method is a popular way for spammers to send unsolicited emails, so it should be used with caution. All it takes is for one person to file a complaint with their email service provider and it's easy to get blacklisted.
For the most part, email is a one-to-one or one-to-many means of communication, but the ability to send the latter is so overwhelmed with spam that people are beginning to abandon this mode of communication altogether.
