How to Send an Email to Undisclosed Recipients in AIM Mail or AOL Mail

By , About.com Guide

No, it doesn't look good.

Whichever way you regard it: it does not look good. A long and winding worm of email addresses does not look good in the To: field when you receive an email, and it does not look good in the Cc: field.

The email address snake does not look good in the emails you send either, of course. Fortunately, you can send messages to more than a hand full of recipients in AIM Mail and AOL Mail without revealing their addresses using the Bcc: field.

Send an Email to Undisclosed Recipients in AIM Mail or AOL Mail

To send a message without revealing its recipients in AIM Mail or AOL Mail:

  • Begin with a new message.
  • Click Bcc.
  • Enter the recipients under Bcc:.
    • Use complete email addresses ("user@example.com", for example) or screen names (for AOL and AIM contacts, e.g. "youyou5").
    • Separate multiple recipients with commas, as in "user@example.com, youyou5".
    • You can insert recipients efficiently using AIM Mail and AOL Mail groups, of course, by typing the group name.
    • Make sure you keep the To: field empty.
  • Compose your message as you usually do and finally click Send.
