Email Cc & Bcc

Giday all Just wondering which method people use to forward email to
friends just read an article that said that Bcc was better than To and Cc
because it didn't send every ones address with the email, any thoughts.

If they are your _friends_, why do you want to hide them from each other?
Any email not addressed to me is placed in my spam folder, and I may take
the time to look at it before I LART it

 

Heres the article

Do you often give the phone numbers of everyone you know
to everyone else you know?

You really should actually LOOK at it before sending frivolous
abuse complaints...

 

Because as it says in the article each time it gets fowarded so does the
email adresses thats a possible sourse of spam or is it what do you
think Matthew

 

You sending to one friend? or twenty friends? Why are you forwarding mail at
all? Best thing is next time you feel like forwarding something to your
whole address book, step away from computer and go have a little nap, or
have a smoke or a beer, anything, come back when the feeling passes.

If you must send to multiple recipients, bcc may help prevent malware from
harvesting a few email addresses, in most cases it won't matter much.

Also, when you get those repeatedly forwarded e-mails, you know the ones
with dozens of email addresses, if you must forward, cut out the section
with the old email addresses.

Yep. But these days, with soo many spams, either I or my 'bot' "JHD". I
LART what's left.

IIRC, there are email services which will take a message and a list of
recipients, and send "personalised" emails to each on the list.
So many of my spams at the begining of the year didn't have me in the "To:"
or "Cc:" fields that I used this as a good spam filter.
YMMV

 

I only foward messages that I find funny and I think my friends will

So Bcc is the go is it thanks

I do
Thanks Matthew

 

I use BCC a lot. Depends on who all the email is going to. I then place my
own email address in the TO because that avoids the "Undisclosed Recipients"
tag. And some servers won't deliver mail that has no TO on it.
