How to prevent sending attachments to CC and BCC recipients when composing email in Outlook?
As we all known, all recipients in “To”, “CC” or “BCC” fields, will get the attachments when sending emails with attachments. However, some users want to send the attachments to the “To” recipients only, with the “CC” and “BCC” recipients just getting the message without the attachments. How could you solve this job in Outlook?

2. In the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window, double click ThisOutlookSession from the Project1(VbaProject.OTM) pane to open the mode, and then copy and paste the following code into the blank module.
VBA code: Prevent sending attachments to CC and BCC recipients:
Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim xMailItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim xNewMail As Outlook.MailItem
If Item.Class <> olMail Then Exit Sub
Set xMailItem = Item
Set xNewMail = Outlook.Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With xNewMail
.CC = xMailItem.CC
.BCC = xMailItem.BCC
.Subject = xMailItem.Subject
.HTMLBody = xMailItem.HTMLBody
.Send
End With
