BCC Me ASAP

Do you ever get those emails from family or friends; the ones they send to you and 60 others in their address book?

I’m sure you have; I get five a day.

My problem is that everyone now has my address in their email system; maybe not as a contact but it’s still there.   Gmail, Outlook and most other email programs save the addresses from every email just in case; viruses know this.

If one of the 60 computers of the folks who receive that email has a virus – a fair assumption – my email address ends up on a Spam list.

There’s a simple solution that will allow you to send those motivational slideshows safely; Blind Carbon Copy (BCC).  Every email system allows you to send the message to yourself and include the other 60 folks in a “BCC” field.  This will allow them to get the email without giving away everyone’s address.

A simple way to save me (and the other 59 folks) from even more spam.
