Excellent! I don't like to get all those lists with all the names....

Great tip Pam, nothing worse than receiving an email and having three feet of addresses and forwards to scroll through before getting to the topic

We thought we were uptown Saturday night because we had Selectric typewriters.
Ah, the good old days. NOT! (I remember them well.)

I don't usually send anything to more than a couple of people so no problem here.

This is really a great tip, Pam.

I always wondered how people were able to do that and now I know.

Thanks, Pam.

the Bcc feature is available with just about any e-mail program that's available these days, but in some cases you have to click on an option within the e-mail window to show it when you compose e-mail messages. The Bcc feature is what shows up as "Undisclosed Recepients", or something similar, on the other receipients' e-mail address list when you receive the message.

Good tip Pamela.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the tip/reminder! Not only do I not like a bunch of strangers having my email address, but too many then hit 'reply all'

Yep, I remember those days. And all those little ball thingys that could type in different fonts. You were really special if you had more than a couple.

But back to today's tip. I hate receiving emails with a long list of who else has received them. I really don't like having my email address passed around. Great tip, Pam. Thanks.

TIP TWO

Never ever email after beer #4.

....learned this the hard way a few years ago after sending my dad some really hot shots of his 36 year old daughter. Funny NOW....not funny THEN.
