Specialty Definition: BCC

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

BCC is an acronym for Blind Carbon Copy. In the context of email, it refers to the practice of sending a message to multiple recipients in such a way that what they receive does not contain the complete list of recipients. It therefore makes spam email look more professional. It may also be used in internet mailing lists.

See also: cc, list of TLAs BCC also refers to the Borland C Compiler. BCC also refers to Bruce's C Compiler.
