One other aspect of using the bcc field is when you want to send out your
new e mail address, you can use the bcc field to list all the names of the
people in your address book who you want to get your new address.  most
certainly, you do not want to share your addressbook with dozens of folks
and it is not fair to those in your address book to have their name and or
address shared with others.  and that is what would happen if you send the
message to folks using the "to" or "cc" field.
