Dear colleagues,
Being a user of primitive e-mail kits, I have always been
aware to whom I am writing, but my very recent experience with
network software on PC/Mac platforms suggests much more careful
attitude in dealing with e-mails.
---------a tip------
If you don't see
To: addressee
Cc: yet, another, addressees
Bcc: eshche, drugim
when you compose your e-mail, try to turn on the option that lets
you view these e-mail headers so that you might be aware what you are
doing.
--------------------------
I assume that some people post personal e-mails to unintented
audience by simply entering the reply mode without making sure
of the addressees. Incidentally, a header line
Reply-to: yourname at yoursite
is a good way to make sure the replies will be back only to you, when
there's such a need.
Cheers,
Tsuji
