Re: [GWL]: Using BCC for Mailings

AOL did this to me once. I called AOL and told them that I considered this to 
be a security breach. If I send "bcc" to people, then it should be invisible. 
The reason I used to send "bcc" was to protect those people's e-mail 
addresses from other people I was sending to. 

AOL really wasn't much help with the problem (just kept telling me how to 
send "bcc"... I already knew that!). So... I just send multiple messages out 
now if I want to copy someone and protect their e-mail address (and, yes, 
it's a lot of extra work but, luckily, I don't have to do it frequently).

 Seems to me that if there are no addresses in the BCC field when you 
 respond, then there should be no blind messages returned or passed on.
