Email Hints & Tips

When emailing multiple recipients

When you want to email multiple people on a single email - do not put all the people on the To: or cc: (carbon copy) lines of your email program.

Doing that would reveal all the recipents to each other - not good for privacy and it could leave you and the recipient more likely to receive spam!

The best option would be to address the email To: yourself and use Bcc: (blind carbon copy) to add the other recipients. This means you would receive a copy of the email sent but importantly all the people on the list will not be able to see each other!
