I set up a new email address to get rid of some spam and I want to mail it to people in my address book without everyone seeing everbody elses email address.

How do I do this in Netscape 7.02? Do I Cc or Bcc. Or some other way?

Gary, Send the message to your (own) self and BCC everyone else.

That outta do it.

Harv,

What do you mean?

You can see I don't send any chain letters!

I don't use Bcc at all. What do I do.

Nevermind Harv, I forgot....Blind carbon copy.

Gary S · « **Reply #3 on:** August 29, 2003, 12:52:10 PM »

Ok, I sent it to myself. Now do I forward it using Bcc or what?

Hi Gary,

I think Harv ment for you to address the email to yourself and add everyone else to that same email as Bcc's then send it.

Sorry Gary, What I meant is to compose the email as you desire it to be. Then address it to yourself with a BCC to everyone else. You will be the only one who sees all the addressees. The others (BCC recipients) will only see their name and you as the sender.

As far as selecting the BCC in Netscape, as I recall, right next to the place where you select the send to, there is a little drop down menu to select whether they are to be a: normal addresee, a CC (carbon copy) addressee, or a BCC (blind carbon copy) addressee.

Gary, you add the other addresses to the bcc: field and put your address in the to: field. Then send the message.

If you use the cc: field (carbon copy) all the addresses will show up in the message headers. If you use bcc: (blind carbon copy) recipients see only their own address.

The reason it was suggested that you send a message to yourself is because someone's address has to be in the to: field in order to send a message. It could just as well be one of the other recipient's addresses.

To go on a little deeper on this topic.
Something i always wondered, isn't there a way to send the same email to your entire email address book?
Sometimes you see like <everyone@company.com>... but than you get everyone connected to that mailserver.
But is it somehow possible to mail everyone in your address book with just one line?

Hope this is somewhat clear

Gary S · « **Reply #8 on:** August 29, 2003, 02:11:58 PM »

Ok, I'm going to do that.

Gary S · « **Reply #9 on:** August 29, 2003, 02:41:08 PM »

It worked for most of the addresses. I got some back as undeliverable....probably no longer in use.

Thanks everyone.

I don't believe I never did that before!

Most of them will probably end up in someones Spam folder anyways.

Not here, it arrived perfectly clean in my inbox

Didn't even know i was in your address book.... but that's due to the short iChat sessions we chared i guess

No problem here as well. The only address showing was Bill's address.

(Take a breath, Bill--I was kidding.)

So Gary, did Sam help you pick that address??

Gary S · « **Reply #12 on:** August 29, 2003, 03:09:40 PM »

Rob,

No, but he could have huh!

Hot air? Never heard of it.

It's about time for one of those oscopys.

I sent one to Bill but I'm not sure it's the right addy.

I got mine.

I forwarded it to all my PC friends.

You should be getting some interesting Mail and attachments soon.

Just a short note. Safari does not have BCC, just TO and CC. Glad I have Entourage also, as it has all three.
