264186 2004-08-22 08:11:00 Hi Earnie
BCC is for "blind copies". If you send an email to Don Brash with a BCC copy to Helen Clark then Don will not know that Helen has received the same email.

A friend of mine uses them a lot when he sends out a broadcast message to a lot of contacts. He does so on the basis that the addresses will not be picked up by anyone havesting for addresses for Spam purposes.

Whether that is a viable line of reasoning I do not know ? However since he is a Computer Scientist I bow to his superior knowledge !

264191 2004-08-22 09:55:00 yes, unfortunately this knowledge is not shared by all the e-mail community-some of the e-mails we get, with their great long list of all recipients with addies clearly on display for all to see and harvest, make me shudder !!!

cheers

264192 2004-08-22 10:17:00 I think people using hotmail and messenger buddies were the ones that send mails un-bcc....most of the time. FeuerBrennt (5971)
264193 2004-08-22 12:14:00 Not enough people know (Maybe they don't care?), but it is probably a simple spammers fishing ground when it is neglected.
It would be an ideal default.
