how to use Gmail?

[Ceiber Boy]

In Gmail when you send a single e-mail to multiple people, how do you prevent a single recipient from viewing the other people on the mailing list?

[thatguruguy]

You don't.

[Enigmapond]

I think, (I may be wrong however but it makes sense), that if you 'CC' it to the others, they will all see. If you 'To' it to all they don't. You Follow?..:)

[Bachstelze]

That's what the 'Bcc' field is for.

You should use bcc instead of cc, bcc = blind carbon copy.

^That.

Hiding addresses when sending to multiple recipientsPrint
If you're sending a message to several people and want to hide each recipient's email address, you can use the blind carbon copy feature. Simply enter the email addresses that you do not want to display to the recipients in the Bcc field of your composed message by clicking Add Bcc.

If you don't want any of the email addresses to show up to the recipients, common practice is to include your own email address in the To field, and all of the recipients' addresses in Bcc.

Enter the email address of one person as you would normally, then click Bcc and then add the other email addresses. The Bcc is a way of sending an email to multiple recipients without the person in the To field being able to see the email addresses of those in the Bcc field.

Nothing like redundancy.

hey thanks cariboo.
I always wondered about that.

[Dragonbite]

Sometimes systems don't allow the "To" field to be blank. Just choose yourself if it does, and then the Bcc: fields will receive theirs and only see your email address in addition to in the From field.

bcc...sneaky man's choice :p
