Be careful when emailing multiple people

When you email multiple people as general good practice and an anti-spam feature - do not put all the people on the To: or cc: (carbon copy) lines of your email program.

Doing that reveals all the email addresses to all the other people you are emailing - if this is what you want then fine but usually it not!

Instead you are best to address the email To: yourself and use Bcc: (blind carbon copy) to add the other recipients - by doing this you will get a copy of the email sent back to you but most importantly all the people on the list will not be able to see each other.

This is important because some viruses / trojans will scan through emails in a mailbox - so if you do not use Bcc: if just one person you were emailing got a virus you could be handing over the email addresses of all the other people on your mailing list!
