Send your Personal Details On To Me Please

[Busman]

I received an e-mail yesterday :thumbs: It was the usual, send it on to 6 friends and you will have great luck etc etc...................

I never send these on, I don't believe in inflicting this spam onto anyone else but it struck me that the people that DO pass on these messages rarely use "BCC." They simply load up their friends e-mail addresses and pass it on.

The e-mail I received contained 63 e-mail addresses, of which 15 were obviously from company pc's, and 2 were "gov."

Along with these were the names of two PC users, their position within their respective companies ( Bias Unit Assembly Manager and Principal Supply Chain Engineer) The companies they work for, Company address inc post code, Telephone/Fax/mobile numbers and e-mail addresses. :eek:

Just out of curiosity, what is the going rate for supplying bulk e-mail addresses for spam, anyone know??:tongue2: I am tempted to start collecting them :cjlol:

I must admit that I never use BCC

I once received an email addressed just to me, when I went to reply I must have clicked reply to all. There was a huge list of email addresses came up, so obviously BCC only gives a temporary anonymity

I ALWAYS[I] use BCC when sending to more that one person

I wish everyone would do it automatically

"If you are a BCC recipient of a message, when you Reply-to-All, people will wonder how you got involved, and will realize that the original sender blind-copied you. This can be rather embarrassing for the original sender, who deliberately tried to hide the fact that you were copied. Who knows what can of political worms you are opening by doing this!

What about the other side of the coin? How can we blind-copy someone without risking exposure? Here’s a much safer way:

Address the message in the normal way to the regular recipients, then enter your own address on the BCC line and send the message. When you receive your copy, forward it to your secret correspondent. Because your forwardee is the only recipient, s/he cannot inadvertently expose your “conspiracy” by misusing the Reply-to-All command."

I always use BCC read this to learn how HTH! (Hope this helps)cheers!



) When you forward an e-mail, DELETE all of the other addresses that appear in the body of the message (at the top). That's right, DELETE them. Highlight them and delete them, backspace them, cut them, whatever it is you know how to do. It only takes a second. You MUST click the "Forward" button first and then you will have full editing capabilities against the body and headers of the message. If you don't click on "Forward" first, you won't be able to edit the message at all.





(2) Whenever you send an e-mail to more than one person, do NOT use the To: or Cc: fields for adding e-mail addresses. Always use the BCC:(blind carbon copy) field for listing the e-mail addresses. This is the way the people you send to will only see their own e-mail address. If you don't see your BCC: option click on where it says To: and your address list will appear. Highlight the address and choose BCC: and that's it, it's that easy. When you send to BCC: your message will automatically say "Undisclosed Recipients in the "TO:" field of the people who receive it.




(3) Remove any "FW :" in the subject line. You can re-name the subject if you wish or even fix spelling and take all the junk [emotions etc] off the end of the e-mail as well !!




(4) ALWAYS hit your Forward button from the actual e-mail you are reading. Ever get those e-mails that you have to open 10 pages to read the one page with the information on it? By Forwarding from the actual page you wish someone to view, you stop them from having to open many e-mails just to see what you sent.
