        "content": "<p>I searched through Microsoft and JAWS documentation, but I found <strong>no</strong> evidence that there's a built-in keystroke in Outlook (while using JAWS) that will automatically hide the To/CC list (or all recipient names) when you use <em>Reply All</em>. Windows / Outlook standard features allow you to use <strong>BCC</strong> to hide recipients, but that's something you have to set up manually\u2014not via a single shortcut during a Reply-All.  </p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a breakdown of what is known, and what can / can\u2019t be done:</p>\n<hr />\n<h2>\ud83e\uddd0 What <em>is</em> possible</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Outlook has a <strong>BCC (Blind Carbon Copy)</strong> field. Recipients listed in BCC are not visible to other recipients.

It doesn\u2019t automatically move them to BCC or hide them.  </li>\n<li>Microsoft\u2019s keyboard shortcuts lists for Outlook do not include any shortcut that hides / removes / toggles visibility of To / Cc addresses once you\u2019ve used Reply All. (<a href=\"https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/keyboard-shortcuts-for-outlook-3cdeb221-7ae5-4c1d-8c1d-9e63216c1efd?utm_source=openai\">support.microsoft.com</a>)  </li>\n<li>JAWS is a screen reader: it announces what\u2019s in the To / CC fields, but it does not modify Outlook\u2019s behavior. There\u2019s no JAWS-specific key command I found that would \u201chide\u201d recipient names during composing a Reply All.  </li>\n</ul>\n<hr />\n<h2>\u2705 What you <em>can</em> do if you want to keep names hidden</h2>\n<p>Since there\u2019s no shortcut to do exactly what you asked, here are ways to prevent recipient names from being shown:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Use BCC instead of To / CC</strong>  </p>\n<ul>\n<li>When starting a message, manually put recipient addresses in the BCC field instead of To or CC. They will receive the message but won\u2019t see who else is included.  </li>\n<li>To make BCC visible: in Outlook, go to <em>Options</em> ribbon \u2192 <em>Show Fields</em> \u2192 <em>Bcc</em>.

This way, other recipients won\u2019t see them.</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Create a distribution list or contact group</strong>  </p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you frequently send to the same set of people and want them hidden, consider creating a contact group and using that in BCC.  </li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ol>\n<hr />\n<p>If you like, I can try to dig deeper into <em>JAWS-specific scripts or workarounds</em> (sometimes there are third-party add-ons) to see if there is something more automatic. Do you want me to look for that?</p>"
