Exposing the email addresses of people who may have wanted to keep them private is unethical since it encourages spam and email scams. The list of To: field may become too long hiding your message.
Functions of email fields
To: Shows recipients of the email you send.
Cc: Means carbon copy of the email you sent in the To field. Copy can be to yourself or someone else email. It is just for record.
Bcc: Means Blind carbon copy and therefore only you and the Bcc email recipient specified will know since the email address is automatically deleted on delivery.
How To Send to Undisclosed/hide recipients
1. Create / compose a new message in your email client account.
2. Insert "Undisclosed Recipients" in the To: field, followed by your email address in "<,>" braces. You can also leave it blank.
*
o The To: field should look like: "Undisclosed Recipients".
o If you send emails to undisclosed recipients frequently, you can add your own email address to your address book with "Undisclosed" as the first and "recipients" as the last name without the quotes. Instead of filling in the To: field manually, you can then use the address book entry.
3.Put all the recipients' email addresses in the Bcc: field, separated by commas. You will first need to select show Bcc,if the field is hidden.
*
o The Bcc: field could look something like: "my.first.friend@example.net, my_second_friend@example.net, stillanotherfriend@example.com".
4.Finish Composing your message.
5.Send it.
6. To: now read "Undisclosed Recipients" or blank if To: was left blank
