I usually use Bcc: when the list of recipients is over about ten people. I'll send the message to myself with "To: c/o chris," a special address book entry I have set up for this purpose, and put the rest of the recipients in the Bcc: field. I can then filter the message to myself out and not have to look at it (ie move all "c/o chris" messages to the trash and mark as read). If for no other reason it's nice to keep the internet headers small on messages I'm sending. For example: I'm currently receiving a "travelogue" e-mail about once a week, from a fellow who is roaming around the world. At each major stop, he writes up a little "Report from the Road" and mails it off - to about 75 people. Those folks names and e-mail addresses are displayed in the body of every "Report" I read. It takes up about half the message. So if for no other reason, to reduce clutter. Of coure, one big drawback of Bcc: is that "Reply All" will ignore the addresses in the Bcc: field. For this reason I usually try not to Bcc: everyone when sending an item I think will generate discussion. Additionally: am I crazy or is it harder for spammers to strip addresses from e-mails when the majority of them are Bcc:'d ? For some reason I thought it was.
