When email to more than one - as a group, do you BCC to the others so as to protect their addresses?

If yes, ...What percentage of the time?


If no, is it because you don't know how or some other reason?

I bcc those who don't know the main recipients.
Reply:If you use BCC, no one will know who else received your email, so everyone's email is protected. I would use that if I didn't want everyone to know who received my email. I use that when forwarding spam and funny email sometimes.
Reply:You can use the BCC so others won't see who is on your list, But, if you have a group of friends you always send mail to, simply go into setting and set up a 'group'. This is easy and nobody will ever know who or how many people are in this group. Remember, when you forward something to delete everyone's address that is showing in the body of the message.
Reply:I use the bcc to others so that they do not know that I have sent same email to other people
Reply:No. I only BCC to my husband if I don't want the main recipient(s) to know I'm telling him stuff.





I would only email to a group that all has each other's addresses or at least should (say, all my sisters and aunts), otherwise I'd send separate mails.
Reply:It is best to BCC to protect their addresses. Just as you won't go around giving out your contacts' phone numbers and addresses to people.
Reply:yes... i'd have to say i use the bcc option about 90% of the time... the only time i show everyone's email would be for business purposes when i want to ensure that everyone is on board!
Reply:When a group of people know one another (family, business associates, etc.) then I do not BCC. One reason is, if I'm sending to a group information pertinent to that group, it's nice to display the e-mail so someone on the list can see if I've skipped someone who should have had the information.





However, if it's just a mass forward (don't do them often), I'll use BCC.





I have received e-mail chains in the past from "friends of a friend of a friend" (people I've never met or conversed with online) who received my e-mail address when a forward was passed along without using BCC. Not only is this rude, in my opinion, but pretty sad. Anyone who actually believes in those e-mail chains and the number of people you have to send them to should be ashamed to grab the e-mail address of someone they don't even know in order to meet the quota.
