Email to undisclosed recipients
January 28th, 2010
The first step in proper email etiquette is to protect the email addresses of those that you send email to. This means not sending email to a large group of people in a fashion that each person can see the other’s email. You can achieve this anonymity by utilizing the BCC: field of the emails that you send out.
By addressing the email To: field to yourself and putting all of the recipient’s email addresses in the BCC: field the only email address that each person sees is yours and theirs. You can either manually address each email with your address in the To: field or you can create a contact in your address book, storing your address and naming it “friends”, “undisclosed recipient” or something similar.
The need for email privacy is becoming more and more prevelant with the increased spam.
