I like the BCC suggestion with one exception. Sometimes I need to send a message where I want everyone to see the responses (mostly at work), so I tell folks to please reply to all. If you use BCC you cannot reply to all.

Also, when using bcc, I place my own email address in the to box, so it appears to be to me from me.

…Do NOT delete the previous sender’s detail.. just make it more consise.. strip the footers and redundant header spacing BUT it’s very useful to see the path the mail has followed and original source….

The person who wrote the above knows little or nothing about internet and email security. They really need to learn something about it before spreading any more bad information.

Of course it’s useful — to spammers. If you’re not a spammer, there’s no good reason for wanting all those addresses.

As the writer pointed out, if there is one person down the line who is using a vulnerable email program (like Outlook or Outlook Express), and that person gets a Trojan, it can forward itself to every email address on that computer — including yours. That’s the major way such things are spread.

Or are you a spammer? Hmmmmmmm?
