                When you use the "To:" function with more than about 5
people addressed, or when you address more than say 5 on "C.c:" [Carbon
Copy], you actually publish the addresses of all theser people and when the
message is relayed from server to server, it may be copied by questionable
scum and sold to spammers - those unscrupulous "advertisers" you have to
trash regularly. If it were not for long published lists, they would wither
and die as they should.
            However when you use "B.c.c:" [Blind Carbon Copy], you hide the
list from every server enroute EXCEPT one which serves an addressee! B.c.c:
was used by the Office Manager to secretly copy the message to his VP to
prove he's at the job without the staff realising it. So it is with us.
            Please use B.c.c: in future and save all your correspondents
being pasted into another sucker list. We'll love you for it.

PS: You won't see it, but all those correspondents will get a copy of this
too.
