If you use an Outlook e-mail program as well as others ...

1. Open a new e-mail.
2. Click on View
3. Check All Headers

To:
Cc:
Bcc:

If you address e-mails (to multiple people) in the Bcc: line only, it will protect those e-mail addresses from being seen by receivers of that e-mail. Therefore, it will also prevent those addresses from being forwarded.

As a result, those e-mail addresses will not have gotten into the hands of SPAMMERS via your e-mail sends. Also, virus infected computers will not be able to spread viruses to the e-mail addresses that would have otherwise shown on that e-mail.

In addition, when you forward an e-mail, if you remove the previous sender's e-mail address information, you offer that sender the same protection.

Keeping e-mail addresses private is a kindness we can do with all our e-mails.

Share a Smile not a virus.

NOTE: In Juno, you accomplish this by putting your BCC names in parentheses ( ) in the CC section. Check your e-mail Help file and search for blind carbon copy if these ideas don't work. You'll be doing a good deed.
