Undisclosed Recipients: In this age of identity theft and mass spamming it might be a good idea to take advantage of a handy tool in outlook express and most other email programs called "undisclosed recipients". This is easy enough to set up: step one is to create a new contact in your address book and name it "undisclosed recipients" and have the email contact content be your own email address. Step two is addressing the mass email to that "UD" address and than Bcc (blind carbon copy): the rest of your target email addresses. The advantages of this is you got a copy of the email sent back to you and your "target" list of friends and business contacts doesn't receive everyone else's e-mail address. To elaborate on the identify theft and spamming, if I send an Cc: email out to 10 people and each of those forwards it to ten more people etc. etc., the same forwarded message can potentially reach thousands of people with all of the email addresses it has been routed through attached in the body of it, it is the spammers dream come true because you never know where your address ends up.
