I shouldn't admit this, but I learned only a couple of days ago how to use the "Bcc" function of my e-mail. I have three boxes: "To," "Cc," and "Bcc." For years, I would send a message to someone using the "To" box and then (occasionally) add additional names to the "Cc" or "Bcc" box. I thought this meant that nobody in any of the boxes could see who else was receiving my e-mail. Katherine informed me recently that this isn't the case. She said that I can put all the names in the "Bcc" box and that nobody, as a result, would know who else got the e-mail. I'm sure that I've never sent an e-mail (until now) with all the addresses in the "Bcc" box, which means that for more than 20 years people were seeing things they weren't meant to see. Ain't technology great?
