Hi Mark,
 
The bcc field is useful yes if you don't want people to see the
circulation of addresses but conversely it can be very good so you are
aware of who's seen the information. For example, if you want to get
event news to members of a little golf group, it's handy to know who got
it by e mail so you know who needs a phone call to keep them updated.
 
But anyway, what's that got to do with this jaws help list. This stuff
comes through from only one source?
 
Cheers, Robin

        Greetings,
         
        Can I ask that when people need to send to multiple email
addresses, they put these email addresses in a bcc field.
        This means blind carbon copy.
        By doing this, us as readers won't have to go through needless
other email addresses before eventually reaching the meaningful text.
Plus other people's email addresses are not revealed, thus making their
addresses secure and private.
        If you were sending things in the post, you wouldn't want to see
your address displayed for other recipients, and you wouldn't want other
recipients to know who else has received your post.
        It's the same in emailing.
         
        To set this up, create a new email in the normal way, usually by
pressing control with n.
        Follow this by pressing alt and b together.
        To check that blind carbon copy is on, simply tab until you hear
bcc.
        Then at this point, you are free to type in multiple email
addresses, ensuring that each email address, [or part of an email
address, if that is how you are set up,] is ended by a semi colon.
         
        Sorry folks, if I'm preaching to the converted.
        Most on here know and observe email etiquette.
        Hopefully after this, we all will be able to do this.
         
        Warm regards,
