Blind Copy  - or

Keeping Email Addresses Private

category: spamming

I often want to send the same email to multiple people, but I don't want to publicize the email addresses of the group members to the entire group. MS Outlook allows me to keep email addresses private using the Blind Copy command.
To use the Blind Copy command, open a new mail message. In the drop-down View Menu of the new message, there's a line called Bcc field. Click the command to make a check mark appear next to Bcc field. A new line will appear in the header of the message, Bcc. Bcc works just like the copy command in that the user can use the address book to select individual or group message recipients.
When using the Bcc option, the user can use his/her own email address in the To line and blind copy everyone else in the group. The user has to send only one email and members of the group maintain the privacy of their email addresses.
