You go to your email account and it’s filled with spam that did, or didn’t, get caught. It’s annoying; it’s irritating; it makes you not want to check your damn email at all!!! I understand and I agree. Believe it or not, though, it’s mostly your own fault!
“How in the hell is this my fault?!?!” you scream.
In a shallow attempt to declare innocence, you yell, “I didn’t help this to happen, you asshole!!”
Ahhh, but you did!
When you reply to, or forward, an email, every email address on that correspondence can be read and recorded! When you are forwarding an email or sending out a ‘blast email’ use the ‘BCC:’ field. The ‘BCC:’ field will ‘hide’ all email addresses so that only the email address you’re sending to is in the email, not everyone elses!
