use BCC for your mails : respect and protect the privacy of others
It is now for the third time this week that I am receiving a mail from friends with all their other emailcontacts and friends available to me. I always mail them back asking to use BCC in the future. THis makes it possible to send the mail to each address without showing the whole list of contacts.
The trick I use is to send the mail also to myself in to and all the other contacts in BCC.
Maybe emailclients should set in a popup saying something like
"would you really want to show all these emailadresses in public" when you place for example more than 5 emailadresses in your to or cc.

God this sort of thing happens all the time. I do agree, email clients SHOULD have that option.
In fact, corporate email gateways should have that option too.
