In this article I cover my 11th principle.
Principle Eleven
When sending an email to a group make sure to use the BCC option rather than the CC option.
Why? When you use the CC option, all receivers can see the email addresses of everyone you sent the email to. This can cause some serious problems for you because emails are private and many individuals don't want their
emails moving about freely. This could cause them to reply to you a little upset or even cause them to ask to be removed from your list.
I am sure most of us are aware that spam is a big issue with email. People fear that if the wrong person gets a hold of their email address, they will start sending spam. Hence, they have reason to be upset when they see that your entire list is seeing their address.
Solution: Use the BCC option. The "B" in BCC means blind. That means that everyone who receives your email will see only your email address and their own email address.
