Email has become the most common form of communication with customers, clients, friends, and family. That’s why a little common courtesy and email etiquette can help your career and professional image …and careless mistakes can hurt both!

Use BCCs (Blind Carbon Copies) when addressing a message that will go to a large group of people who don’t necessarily know each other.
Just as it’s not polite to give out a person’s telephone number without his or her knowledge, it’s not polite to broadcast everyone’s e-mail address. For instance, when you send a message to 30 people and use the To or CC fields to address the message, all 30 people see each other’s address. By using BCC, each recipient sees only two — theirs and yours.
