I get a lot of emails from my college friends and colleagues which are funny, interesting, informative and worth sharing. These emails get circulated among a whole lot of others I don’t know. Like I got an email that contained some funny pictures of George Bush which already got circulated among 500 friends.
The mail was forwarded from one guy to another and so on. If I was a spammer I would have been delighted to see so many email ids 
and I would have started bombarding the mail boxes with spam mails. So I wonder are the email addresses worth sharing too? I don’t think so.
How to undisclose (hide) the email recipients (addresses)?
- Open your email program (like Outlook Express) or login to your free mail account (like Gmail, Yahoo mail, etc.) and go to compose mail to create a new mail message.
- Type ‘Undisclosed Recipients’ followed by your <email address> (include braces) in the ‘To’ field.
- This should look like: ‘Undisclosed Recipients‘ <your_email_address@example.com>
- Enter the email addresses of friends to whom you want to send the email seperated by commas/semicolons in the ‘BCC‘ field.
- This should look like: friend1@example.com, friend2@example.com, friend3@example.com
- Now compose your message and click on ’send’.
- The bottom line: Protect yourself and your friends from spammers.
The output will look like this:

Really helpful tips as I was not aware of how to make use of the undisclosed recipients option

Thanks in advance
