The wording is:</dd></dl> <pre> 'In the second case... the recipients on the "Bcc:" line get a separate copy of the message containing a "Bcc:" line.' </pre> <dl><dd>I think there is some ambiguity about what is in this Bcc line: just the address of the recipient? or the whole Bcc list? I am unclear about the use of the word "separate": (why not just say "copy" rather than "separate copy"?) does it mean that each Bcc recipient gets a <b>different</b> copy? If so this maybe implies that each Bcc recipient gets a version with just <b>their own</b> address in Bcc. This would match with the statement in brackets in the RFC:</dd></dl> <pre> '(When there are multiple recipient addresses in the "Bcc:" field, some implementations actually send a separate copy of the message to each recipient with a "Bcc:" containing only the address of that particular recipient.)' </pre> <dl><dd>Maybe this bracketed part is intended to apply to <b>all</b> cases where anyone is sent a Bcc line. <b>If so, then it means that it true that addresses in Bcc are not revealed to anyone else.</b></dd></dl> <p><b></b> </p> <dl><dd>Does anyone know of any specific software, or situations, where the complete list in Bcc is sent to any recipient?</dd></dl> <dl><dd>A note about the RFCs and their status: RFC 2822, which is at present quoted in the article, has a note that it is obsoleted by RFC 5322, but this is not that important as the two RFCs are identical as far as I can see in what they say about Bcc.</dd></dl> <dl><dd>More important is that 5322 is noted as being just a <b>DRAFT</b> STANDARD. I have not been able to locate an actual internet standard, so the article seems to be incorrect in saying that RFC 2822 is an internet standard - I am not sure about this - does anyone know better?

It would have been better if they renamed it to 'Blind Client Copy' or something. Carbon is supposedly black ink on paper when you write with a pencil. Blind is also a weird term, because even if you're blind you can still feel and perhaps read the inprint, whether you see the ink or not. BCC completely masks or hides the recipients, so that the receiver can not backtrace other addresses. Just a minor complaint about the ill chosen word. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Signatures" title="Wikipedia:Signatures">unsigned</a> comment added by <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/98.254.64.146" title="Special:Contributions/98.254.64.146">98.254.64.146</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:98.254.64.146" title="User talk:98.254.64.146">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Blind_carbon_copy#c-98.254.64.146-2010-10-06T12:35:00.000Z-What's_in_the_name?" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">12:35, 6 October 2010 (UTC)</a></span><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-98.254.64.146-2010-10-06T12:35:00.000Z-What's_in_the_name?"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-10-06T12:35:00.000Z","author":"98.254.64.146","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-98.254.64.146-2010-10-06T12:35:00.000Z-What's_in_the_name?","replies":["c-GGdown-2011-01-07T11:05:00.000Z-98.254.64.146-2010-10-06T12:35:00.000Z"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-98.254.64.146-2010-10-06T12:35:00.000Z-What's_in_the_name?"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-GGdown-2011-01-07T11:05:00.000Z-98.254.64.146-2010-10-06T12:35:00.000Z"></span>See <a class="external free" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_paper">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_paper</a> for the origin of the word "carbon" in this context.
