When you are sending an email newsletter to many people you really do not want everyone to see each others email address.
By default email clients display a TO: field and a Cc: field where you can add your email addresses. But there is also a Bcc: option where everyone will get an email addressed to just them and no other email addresses are visible to them.

Bcc is shorthand for blind carbon copy. If the Bcc box isn’t visible when you create a new message, you can add it.
In Outlook to view the Bcc address box:

1. In Outlook, on the Actions menu, click New Mail Message.
2. Do one of the following:

• If you are using Word as your e-mail editor, on the toolbar, click the drop-down arrow to the right of the Options button, and click Bcc.
• If you are not using Word as your e-mail editor, on the View menu, click Bcc Field.

All new e-mail messages now display the Bcc address box.

Other email clients should be pretty similar or have a Bcc button placed somewhere around the To: field.
