We can't emphasize enough the importance of using the BCC: (Blind Carbon Copy) feature of an email program when sending an email to a collection of people who do not know each other.  (To read more about why this is important and how to use BCC:, click here.) 

Sometimes, though, people can't find the BCC: field.  If you're a Gmail user and don't see a BCC: field when you start a new email, here's how to force the appearance of the BCC: field.

1)  Start a new email.

2)  Only the TO: field will be showing.  Notice the "BCC" link directly to the right of the TO: field.



3)  Click on the "BCC" link.  

4)  The BCC: field now appears in your new email.  Unfortunately, you will need to invoke the BCC: field in subsequent new emails as Gmail doesn't remember your setting.





5)  Put the email addresses into the BCC: field.  Send your email as usual.
