Hiding Email Addresses Using BCC
Avoid that mess of multiple e-mail addresses
showing on the messages you send!
Have you received e-mail messages like the example
below, with lines and lines of addresses at the top of the message
There is a simple way to avoid sending
messages that start with long lists of addresses. When entering multiple
addresses that you want to send to, instead of putting the addresses in the
To: section as in this example
...enter them in the BCC:
section, like the example below.
The Result
As usual, any addresses that were in the To:
or CC: areas will be seen by the message
recipients. But, any addresses that were entered in the
BCC: field will not show, as in the example below. And, if the
message is forwarded to other readers, the BCC:
addresses again would not show.
Use the BCC: option to:
-
avoid sending a list of
addresses out for the world to see
-
make your messages neater for
the reader
-
recipients won't know if you
sent the message to 1 person, or 100!
More Ideas:
When forwarding a message that already lists a lot of addresses and header
information, you can easily clean it up.
Just highlight the unnecessary information and delete it. Done!
