Sending to more than one person at a time is called Mass Mailing. Do you wonder why you get viruses or junk mail? Do you hate it? If you send one message to a lot of people by putting all their names/addresses in the  or line the result is that everyone in the list can see everyone else's address.  Also, every time you forward an e-mail there is information left over from the people that got the message before you - namely their e-mail addresses.  As the messages get forwarded along, the list of addresses builds, and builds, and builds. Not only might some people not want this (considering their address to be 'ex-directory' and not wishing to be 'replied to' by 50 or more strangers) but there is a much more serious security issue which you should heed, especially if you care about those to whom you're mailing your circular.  Most viruses replicate by scanning address books and messages which are stored in in-folders for addresses to which they silently forward themselves from any infected machine.  In other words, by putting all those names in the  line you are exposing everyone to a greater risk of receiving a virus from someone else on the list. Or, someone can take all of those addresses and sell them or send junk mail to them in the hopes that you will go to the site and he will make five cents. There is also another safety issue which is a lot more worrying than a virus.  Please Read "A Warning"   A Safer Way UseIf you insist on mass emailing you should put one address - (probably your own) in theline and use theline for all the rest.  Outlook Express actually allows you to put everybody’s address in the line. That way no-one gets to see the list of recipients (and not only is this safer, but everyone is made to feel a bit more special, since they cannot see how many people have received the message).  When you forward an email DELETE all of the other addresses that appear in the body of the message. It only takes a couple of seconds to keep you and your friends safe.
