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.
