1308593 2012-10-25 04:56:00 We have just changed providers and want to advise everyone in our address book of our amended email address. Can this be done enmass and if so is it possible to do it without everyone having access to everyone elses email address?

1308595 2012-10-25 17:42:00 I wish someone (like magazines, newspapers etc ) would do a education drive on the importance of using Bcc: on Emails .


It has been known on my "rant" days I have done a high-jack on Emails where all the email address have been inserted in to just the To: entry . My added contribution was just some dribbling humor .
The following emails on the next months newsletter was addressed to just me, I assume the sender had found a need to use the Bcc: entry, motivated by one of the senders recipient .



the sad part is; I lost contact with a family member because they used the To: entry to include their content of their entire address book to post jokes, If I want a joke I can google 'joke' any time, any day .

1308596 2012-10-25 19:47:00 Yep, knowledge of Bcc is pretty rare. And it only takes one person to ignore this to have everyone's emails potentially compromised.

Good on you, Mervyn, for asking. If you need more detail, tell us which email program you use.

1308597 2012-10-25 21:00:00 Probably the main reason not many know about Bcc is because this field is normally hidden from view by default in all email software. CYaBro (73)

Dead right. It would help if the options were visible.

Is on gmail - shows exactly the same as the copy option, and pretty much in the same place.

1308601 2012-10-27 06:13:00 Is anyone interested in turning this topic into a "Email Etiquette" article to be printed in a magazine or newspaper?
If I just rambled on with a few Email stories, it would turn this F1 thread into a chat thread.

1308602 2012-10-27 06:54:00 I dont' believe they print things aside from the occasional quick question from here. However, you're more than welcome to PM Zara :) Chilling_Silence (9)
