emails can be sent &quot;to&quot; somebody, &quot;cc&quot; (carbon copy, no action<br>
required from recipient), and &quot;bcc&quot; (blind carbon copy, the recipient<br>
does not see who got the mail as a blind carbon copy).<br>
<br>
there is two ways of using bcc, one is considered quite rude, and one<br>
i believe it was originally invented for:<br>
<br>
1. the rude way<br>
i want to write to a person, and put you on bcc, so you would get a<br>
copy of the email without the recipient is knowing of it. this is<br>
considered _very_ rude, even dishonest, by quite a number of people.<br>
please put persons openly on cc, and maybe even mention why you put<br>
them there.<br>
<br>
2. the good way<br>
i want to invite 50 person to a party, and i do not want to disclose<br>
all the email addresses to everybody. so i put myself in to, and<br>
everybody else in bcc. its clear for the recipient that he was on bcc,<br>
and everybody else as well. so &quot;bcc&quot; is actually like &quot;to&quot; - the<br>
recipient is required to do something.<br>
<br>

ps: sorry to write off topic to this mailing list, but i got a couple<br>
of emails bcc in the last months, and it is probably better to state<br>
this openly.<br>
