Is there a way to exclude the actual email addresses of friends in mass emails?


When I forward a cute email to many friends, I’m upset that everyone’s email address goes to everyone. I don’t mine their names going, but feel I’m invading their privacy when their email address goes to people they don’t even know.

    use bcc to send group emails. no emails or names will show up. and shows up as undisclosed recipients. if you want names to be shown, you would need to go into your preferences settings and adjust in there. also when you forward, delete all the adresses that show up in the message box. just highlight and hit delete or backspace.

    Put their addresses in as a BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) instead of in the ‘To’…

    When you forward, you can highlight and delete the email addresses from the forward, send it to yourself and everyone else as a blind carbon copy. That way the only email address to be seen is yours. The others are hidden and anyone receiving the email from you can’t tell who else it’s being sent to. It also cleans up the email and shortens it if it has been around for awhile if you delete the previous addressees and any extraneous comments that your friends don’t need or want to see.
    Should work.
    Hope this helps. It’s a pet peeve of mine to get 3 pages of forwarded addresses before you can read the email. You can also compose a list in your address book of your friends. When you mail to the list, only the name of the list will show. Look for instructions in the help section of your email program.
