Using Blind Courtesy to Forward E-mail

You get a forwarded joke from a friend and in the "To" of the E-mail you see all these E-mail addresses. Every address you see, you can send an E-mail to them. When you forward an E-mail with everyone's E-mail address in the "To" section, you are showing the world your friends E-mail addresses'. In the hands of the wrong person, these addresses could be used for spamming. So how do you forward a joke without revealing the E-mail addresses of your friends?

Use Blind Courtesy Copy, also known as BCC, to send those forwards along safely. Any E-mail addresses you add to BCC will not be seen by others. They get the E-mail you sent and your friends E-mail addresses are kept safe.

To use BCC, there is usually a button with "use CC or BCC" that you can click on. If not, click on the "To" button to the left of the address line and use BCC there. Remember, your friends don't like getting spammed. So help protect their E-mail addresses by using BCC to forward those jokes.

Have a great day, Jeff
