[Dixielandjazz] So easy to do....

[Bob Romans]

This is off the topic of Dixieland Jazz, but it is so useful, that I thought it would be good to 
forward it to the group...I get so MANY emails everyday with dozens of email addresses attached...read this and find out how to eliminate them if you don't know how...THANK YOU!



FOR EVERYONE WHO SENDS E-MAILS, PLEASE READ VERY CAREFULLY!!!!!
THEN CLEAN UP ANY EMAIL YOU PLAN TO SEND OTHERS......

 Do you really know how to forward e-mails?
50% of us do;  ---   50% do NOT.

 Do you wonder why you get viruses or junk mail?  Do you hate it?????

 Do you hate getting email with pages of addresses?????

 Every time you forward an e-mail there is information left over from the 
people who got
the message before you, namely their e-mail addresses. As the messages get
forwarded along, the list of addresses builds, and builds, and builds, and 
all it takes is
for some poor sap to get a virus, and his (her) computer can send that virus 
to every
e-mail address that has come across his computer.

 Or,someone can take all of those addresses and sell them or send junk mail 
to them in
the hopes that you will go to the site and ! he will make five cents for 
each hit.  That's right,
all of that inconvenience over a nickel!

 How do  you stop it?
Well, there are two easy steps: When you forward an e-mail, DELETE all of 
the other
addresses that appear in the body of the message. That's right, DELETE them.

 Highlight them and delete them, backspace them, cut them, whatever it is 
you know how
to do.  It only takes a second.

 You MUST click the "Forward" button first, then  you will have full editing 
capabilities
against the body and headers of the message.
If you don't click on "Forward" first, you won't be able to edit the message 
at all.

 Whenever you send an e-mail to more than one person, do NOT use the To:
or  Cc: columns for adding e-mail address.

 Always use the BCC: (blind carbon copy) column for listing the e-mail
addresses.  (On the view menu, select all headers) This is the way that 
people you send to only see their own
e-mail address.  If you don't see your BCC: option click on where it says
To: and your address list will appear.

 Highlight the address and choose BCC: and that's it, it's that easy. When
you send to BCC: in this manner, your message will automatically say
"Undisclosed Recipients" in the "TO:" field of the people who receive it.
