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.
