Email Netiquette Using BCC in Outlook Express

(C) Copyright 2004-2005 by Anna-Marie Stewart


How many times have you received an email with a whole bunch of other email addresses in the To: line? Or are you guilty of doing the same? The problem with adding lots of email addressess in the To: line of an email is that every single addressee also ends up with a copy of each email address.

This in itself isn`t really bad if you`re 100% positive that nobody will use the email addresses to send spam to, but face it, can you really be that sure? I, for one, find it really frustrating to know that all kinds of people have received my most personal email address just because somebody doesn`t know how to BCC (or Blind Carbon Copy) an email.

The worst of it is, I`ve even seen big companies do this when I`ve received mails from them. If I were any less honest I could just pick up each and every one of the email addresses in the mail and create a huge mailing list for myself. Yukk!

There`s a really easy way to blind carbon copy emails in Outlook Express which means that all of the addresses you send the email to will be hidden and you won`t be classed as "one of those people who shares email addresses with the world and his uncle".

How to Blind Carbon Copy (bcc) emails:

1. Click Create Mail
2. Select "View" from the message menu
3. Make sure "All Headers" is checked
4. A Bcc: field will appear beneath the Cc: field
5. Put your own email address in the To: field
6. Add all recipients addresses to the Bcc: field
7. Create the mail as you normally would and hit send

It`s that simple. Practice a little email netiquette and you`ll be sure your friends and contacts don`t get mad at you. You will receive a copy of your own mail, and the people who receive the email won`t even know you`ve sent it to multiple addressees.
