How to Send an Email to Undisclosed Recipients

I’m amazed and how people still don’t know how to send email. I can see why so many of us get hammered with spam, it like your best friend is selling your address. I think 90% or higher of the email one gets is just stuff forwarded but No one cleans up or knows how to send or forward email with out spreading and adding to that ever growing list of addresses.

Here is what I do and use to help in not passing addresses of people and friends plus most would like to have some control over who see or get our address. The first thing is Always post any and all addresses in the BBC line of your email. Bcc Means Privacy and Efficiency and Fortunately, you don't have to send individual emails to avoid this embarrassing exposure of email addresses. In addition to To: and Cc: recipients that show up in the e-mail’s headers, you can insert Bcc: recipients.

Bcc:

A Bcc (blind carbon copy) is a copy of an email message sent to a recipient whose email address does not appear in the message. This is in contrast to To and Cc recipients, whose addresses do appear in the respective header lines. Every recipient of the message can see all the To: and Cc: recipients, but doesn’t see the Bcc: recipients.

"Undisclosed Recipients"

Insert "Undisclosed Recipients" in the To: field, followed by your email address in "<,>" braces. • The To: field should look like: "Undisclosed Recipients ".

If you send emails to undisclosed recipients frequently, you can add your own email address to your address book with "Undisclosed" as the first and "recipients" as the last name. Instead of filling in the To: field manually, you can then use the address book entry.

Put all the recipients' email addresses in the Bcc: field, separated by commas.
The Bcc: field could look something like: "my.first.friend@example.net, my_second_friend@example.net, stillanotherfriend@example.com".

Compose your message and send it.
