Do you bcc: on email?

You didn't vote, or you're a weasel as well. You could have left the voters' responses public.

 

I hate that

 

I have used it before when I wanted other people to see what I am writing, particularly if I am standing up for them concerning employment.

Coming from Gizmondo I used it A LOT !!

That way if the top dog ever tried to divide and seperate my management team there was no way as we were all on the same page.

We did it on almost EVERY email to HQ.

bcc is to cya...only us it if necessary...my boss does the open receipt...i hate that...I don't because I have a log in my outbox to who I sent crap too...

what a day, 5:30 can't come soon enough...

 

I don't because I don't trust anyone to realize they were bcc. They might reply and reveal they were bcc'd by me. This happened once - the dork. It is much easier to forward the email to the person you wanted to bcc.

 

In the coming weeks and months before I left Dell, my tone and attitude changed drastically in my emails. Lots of sarcasm, discontent, and even sports analogies. I'd BCC my buddies to give them a cheap laugh.

 

I use it when alerting my director that I am contacting a manager and the manager is being lazy. I don't want to be blamed for my managers' incompetence.

 

I only BCC myself.

i've never used it but how exactly does it work. does the BCCee get to see who you sent it to but the main recipient doesn't? am i correct? i've always been afraid i'd screw up.

 

NO.

BCC and read receipts are for b****es.

 

bcc has oher uses. if you send out an address changes to all your friends with email addresses you send the email to yourself and bcc your friends. that way your friends who do not know each other don't have to say "WTF!"

 

I did the same thing at the same place.

 

Idiots at my work hit the reply all button on email instead of reply to sender on mass emails that I have to send sometimes when I update a spreadsheet and/or database. The bbc ensures that they only bug me with their stupid responses. Rarely do I have to send the "Thanks to a suggestion by X, I've also added..."

I also use it to notify people of an issue, but not necessarily keep them involved with the actual back and forth emails to resolve the issue. For instance, my boss needs to know what projects I'm working on with other groups so she can include the information in my performance review, but does not need to see all the emails back and forth on the project.

 

Good call.

 

You DO know you can set an option to ALWAYS keep a copy in your "sent items" yes, yes?

I hate it when people send to a distribution list AND add a person within that list to the CC field. WTF, yo?

I always BCC a blind person.

 

yeah - in business, as micah has mentioned, you should NEVER bcc anymore. cause you never know when you bcc an idiot that replies to all.

always FORWARD.

 

OK, I'm stupid. I can't remember what bcc is. Is that where you cc somebody and that person doesn't know the email was sent to everybody else, or everybody else doesn't know the cc was sent to that person?
