Use BCC properly. Bcc is a great choice for those who want to communicate privately. If you simply use the "To" field and the CC field to send a letter to multiple people, everyone on the list receives the other recipient's identity. Although this function is quite convenient when sending group messages, it will cause a bit of trouble if the recipients do not know each other.

Not only does it make the list of people who receive messages public, it also opens a window to receive responses, most of which are unrelated to other recipients, making them feel uncomfortable — worse. , it allows spam to attack your mailbox.

For example, you email a few important people in your work group, and want to update everyone else on progress, but want to quietly let higher management keep track of what you're sending, fill in everyone's names. everyone in the group enters the field behind "TO"; Enter the names of all followers but not directly participating in the conversation in the field after Cc:; Finally, enter the names of all the people you want to invite to the chat without notifying them after the Bcc field. You can manually enter your address in the Bcc: field to receive copies of all messages you send.

Fill in the addresses of all "hidden" users after the Bcc: field. No one will see the other recipient's name, which is the best way to protect the privacy of your message.
